| Mount DVD drive on the Admin Bar? |
| (1/4) > >> |
| spjuenger:
I have a lot of extra room on my admin bar and was thinking about adding a slim slot load DVD drive in the empty space. This is my first cabinet so I'm not sure how much it will get used. I will play some PC games on it, but is it worth the trouble? Will it take away from the "Arcade Look"? Lets hear some thoughts. |

would you watch DVDs on it? is it a good screen/in a good spot at your place, that would make sense to have a DVD player in? i think that should be the only concern... you may get a few purists here later! of course it would be good for getting files to your cab, too. i have to rely on a USB drive for that (until i finally *finish* the thing off soon ---right). anyway, i have a TV tuner card in my cab. we don't bother with cable, but where we are living now it's included in the rent. and the cab is the biggest screen, so why not? oh and as for PC games, all i've done is make an ISO file, put it on my USB stick along with any necessary NO-CD crack, install it on the cab (using Microsoft's tiny "VCD control tool") and then there's never any discs to deal with. you're going to play PC games and have an "admin panel" - that's already taking away from the "Arcade Look." :police: |

I'd go for easy access through the coin door. Once you get your cab setup the way you like, a DVD drive will barely be needed. I don't have one in my cab at all. I just copy everything via USB (port installed under CP). |

other than when i installed windows on it, i have not used my dvd drive once. i installed a USB wireless adapter in the cabinet so i can copy files to it over the lan. |

Agreed. I use a portable 2.5" drive via USB which is a lot more convenient than cd/dvds. I also added a wireless USB stick to my pc inside the cab so if I need to go online for a quick download I can. |
