Title: I'm having twins! Well kindof
Post by: newtrix on August 04, 2008, 11:54:43 pm: Figured I would try my hand at a Bartop and why build one when two is just as easy.

Hav'nt come up with a theme yet. Perhaps Bubble and Bobble? PacMan/Galaga? I have two 15 inch ELO LCD's so I think I'll use Xlobby as a touch screen front end.

Is there any reason for having so much space below the monitor? Do you have something planned for it?
