Title: PinWars PinCab Build - Finally
Post by: Firebat138 on February 28, 2021, 10:33:58 am

So Finally after Years of being away from the scene....  I finally built my Pincab.  Years ago I posted the artwork and build my MAMEGEAR cab back in 2007 and now Im redoing the PC for that one so I may be asking some redundant questions here and there lol. 

Specs

50" 4K Playfield
32" BackGlass
15" Topper  ( Old Monitor )
PinDMD v3 DMD

Pc Specs nothing spectacular
Ryzen 3
16 Gig Ram
hard drive..  Not big enough lol
AMD Radeon RX 570

Thank you to all the guys on all the sites that helped me through the years.  If anyone has any questions on the build lmk

I am currently working on a Racing Cab build but have changed it to a shooter build after I found Time Crisis 5 and all these arcade dumps around OMG.  lol

Also, I built this one for my brother for his birthday.  Same specs, but smaller playfield

Its Called PinCAVE

As on my build, I had a local metal shop Fabricate the Stainless steel top, but this time I had them cut out the Bat symbol

Are you modeling the cabinet measurements against a real machine?  The body looks super huge compared to the backbox.  I'd think chopping a few inches off the bottom would look nicer but you waited till it was done to post anything....lol.

I had the same issue and all it took to fix was a 1 1/2" spacer between the cab and backbox. You can see what I did here
