Still have the Theater Room, and the Computer Room to finish, but for the most part the Game Room and Family Room is done.

Missing pinballs alert!

I don't know like you, but I'd go crazy after awhile with that strobe behind marquee and the x-mas lights on the control panel. Can you disable it with a switch if you want it or is it pretty permanent?

The front ends are great though. Had to download a lot of torrents, and a lot of time to configure everything, no? ;)

Fair play. If there's one thing that sucks about British homes it's the size - wish we had room for this kind of setup. Ironically enough, even though I got Turnarcades, I don't currently have my own games room or even an arcade machine! All my own I've sold on as I get bored and build a new one, but next year I plan to build a custom summer house in my garden (as I don't have room in my house) and will build a 4-player and a racing cab to compliment my dartboard, poker table and mini-bar. Keeps my mates from messing up my house!

Very nice, though I don't know if I could stand all the blinky lights  ;)

Looks a little like the new Enterprise command deck from the new Star Trek movie.

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!

Eh, I figure I spent at least fifteen, twenty grand on music gear over ten years, and have always  pulled in less than a thousand a month. No kids/wife/holiday or birthday observance helps.

Nice set-up. Would like to see some gameplay on that plasma, especially golden-age games.

looks cool. agree about all the lights though....thats a seizure waiting to happen. lol. But I definitely wouldn't mind having that much room to have my own setup.

Like Ummon said....pinch those pennies.....save. Takes some time, but its worth it. I make about 15K a year. Thats nothing. And I can afford to build a cab. Just gotta set your priorities and save when you can. Skip a meal or two. hehe.

This is off topic and completely irrelevant, so feel free to ignore me if you find the question inappropriate,  but what do you do that you pull in less than a thousand a month?  Do you work full time?

I agree about the blinky lights driving someone crazy, but to each his own.

Impressive setup!

Am I the only one who likes blinking lights? Maybe its just my youth, but lighting set ups like seen on that CP don't bother me at all. Maybe its the Van Halen in the background. :dunno

Excellent setup. I hope to have a game room that annoys the elderly more mature people in the world as well!! :cheers:

I dig the blinking lights too.  Check this video out



I thought it was tastfully done.

I do not sell for these people by the way.  I just though the light set up was  :applaud:

Hey man cool cab.  I'm finalizing a full cab with same four player CPO.  I'm struggling to find ball tops to illuminate.  Can you share what you used and where you got it?  I'm going with Ultrimarc for the illuminated buttons and an LED-Wiz; just need the ball tops to put in my Mag Stick Plus or Happ Super sticks.

Also, you have lots of games.  Do you have a secret for finding and downloading ROMs that you can "safely" share?

I haven't worked 'full-time' since '93. Then I was in school. Then I worked some. Then I got a trust fund.

I'm undecided on the CP lighting. It's cool, for sure. But I think I'd get tired of it. The blinking marquee I bet I'd get real annoyed with, though. It'd be way cooler if it semi-gradually brightened and dimmed.
