I'm over in Fayetteville, NC.  Topjimmycooks, another user, is over in Wilmington.  He's the one with the motorized monitor switching.  Pretty sweet.

Sounds cool.  I am in the process of redoing the look of my arcade.  Last time it was just put together to see if I could pull it off and now I want it to look a little better.  I'm going with a UFC or MMA inspired design.  I'd like to add guns for shooters but that will have to be down the road.

It's nothing special but I'll try to upload the pics here.  I am redoing the overall look and art.  I'm going for a UFC theme.

yea i went back to step one redoing everything starting with the software. at the same time im trying to design a complete control panel with the pc build into it. that way till i can build the cab i will be able to play with my controls. then later attach the panel to the cab later on.

I live in Stallings and work in Ballantyne. My cabs not done yet, still working on it. I'm stuck on the art work right now.
Here's a link to my project announcement. I haven't updated it lately because I haven't done much to it.

i have someone coming to pick up the dynamo z back cab i have so that should give the money to buy the wood for my next cab. tho i think for now since im moving soon ill just build the cp for my showcase and house the mobo and everything in it that way when i make the cab its a simple cord run to the tv.
