ragnar:
Thanks for the replies.  I've been on hiatus.  Looking into the suggestions mentioned.  Much appreciated!

I'm planning to make a digital pinball cab, but definitely not until I have a real pinball machine 1st.

One thing make sure to research the dual video cards, I have read that Nvidia is best when trying to get the best performance and quality out of Visual Pinball (HD Render for example)...

Give it plenty of CPU power.

I think you can get a device from Andy at Ultimarc so that you can have your tilt action when bumping the cab, a device with a accelerometer, I can't remember the name.

Also everyone seems to think that Sharp 42" LCD's are the must have for the play field.

Good luck and post lots of pictures and descriptions of what and where you got everything!

nVidia with an AMD CPU seems to be the best combination when it comes to VP performance.  As far as tilt action, you're talking about the UHID+G from Ultimarc.  After testing a UHIG+G in my cabinet; I've found that normal tiltbobs from real machines seem to work the best.

You should definitely go for this hardware if you are serious :)

I thought that most who have tried this ended up scrapping it.  Do you know something that they don't or are you not even speaking from experience?
