(http://vpforums.org/imghost/79/mheadk.gif) ...check out my new (http://vpforums.org/imghost/79/bbppng.png) pinball project! (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13146)
Hey Guys!
I am planning to build a nearly "bezel-less" fullscreen visual pinball cabinet with a 46" lcd playfield, 30" lcd backbox and 19" lcd dmd-monitor. I will revive an empty star trek:tng widebody cabinet for this project which I got for a few bucks.
The following parts are already there:
- cabinet
---> empty star trek : tng widebody cabinet
---> new legs
---> new widebody lockbar
---> new "old" williams siderails
---> black painted coindoor (illuminated)
---> wired coin acceptors
---> pinball service buttons
---> new playfield and backbox glass
---> blank williams speakerpanel / grill
- screens
(if you need high-res backglass pics (2560res, 6mb each) for your cabinet check out my other thread at http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8860 (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8860))
---> 46" Playfield 16:9 lcd sharp fullhd 1080p screen (sharp LC46D65)
---> 30" Backglass 16:9 lcd hdready 720p screen with DVI (noname tv brand, medion)
---> 19" Scoreboard 4:3 lcd screen (benq tft pc monitor)
- pc-setup

---> win xp sp3 - 32bit
---> intel quad core i5-750 overclocked to 4x 4.0ghz
---> msi P55-GD65 mainboard
---> 2x2GB RAM DDR3 1600 (8-8-8 timing)
---> 2x GTX260 1792MB GPU (1x for playfield / 1x for backglass and dmd)
---> 32GB SSD (os booting / table loading / hyperpin browsing. just awesome!)
---> soundblaster x-fi music soundcard (creative crystalizer. great enhancement for pinball-sound)
---> 2.1 quality teufel soundsystem with huge subwoofer (provides a nice and clear force-feedback for bumpers, slingshots, replay knockers)
---> 550 watt 80+ arctic psu / 86% efficiency (pc power consumption is averagly about 350watt)
- additional details
---> 2 siemens 12V-DC industry relay (contactors) for flipper force-feedback (wow effect, check out my youtube-vid)
---> 2 original pinball tilt-bobs for nudge-left and nudge-right and 1 mercury-switch for front/top-nudging
---> original star trek tng plunger gun (sensitive ball shooting also possible)
---> all connected to an ipac/interfasd buttoninterface
---> 4x led-illuminated transparent pinball buttons with original leaf-switches (for the right feeling)
---> 6x led-illuminated servicebuttons with plotted inlays (countersinked)
---> 3x 22cm fans for cab ventilation / silent & powerfull 600rpm, 161.61mł/h (2x cabinet / 1x backbox)
======edit: project is almost finished===================
here is a first digital camera video of the machine. the quality isnt the best (switch to "hq" @ youtube for a better quality)

here is a video of the virtual flipper sound and force feedback (industry relay + 2.1 subwoofer system) vs. a real medieval madness flipper.
I think the virtualmachine sounds better ;-)

fine adjusted my 2 tilt-bobs, works very well now. check out the smooth nudging... you can nudge left and right separately.
