Well, *most* of the parts are here... And I picked up the wood this afternoon.

Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend!

That's not everything yet either... I haven't uploaded the pictures of the other "goodies"...(tron stick/ star wars yoke/720 controller/frontline rotary controller/the list goes on..and on...)

I am building a interchangable control panel cabinet. (the individual players controller/buttons will be quick release/hot swappable.) for three players.. Yeah, I broke down and did three trackballs just for rampart.... ;D

Stay tuned!

I'm green with envy.

You've certainly spared no expense when it comes to your components! ;)

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

She is actually pretty enthusiastic about the whole project.. I can't complain.
Were coming down to the wire for the wedding...Sept 6th is the big day. I started this project as a stress reliever from all the wedding planning...

Yes, I went with Scott's unicade plans. I went with them because I wanted a cabinet that would survive being moved around, and "aggressivly" used.
