Franken-panels Vs. Multi-Swaps
Donkey_Kong:
I thought one of the big reasons a guy would do a flight stick would be for TRON! Isn't that game reason enough?

I wouldn't want multiple panels. Where do those extra ones even go? In a big pile next to the cabinet? I like my semi-frankenpanel. It's got a good selection of things so I don't have to worry about most games (No Tron stick.. but honestly, ---fudgesicle--- Tron.) I think as long as you plan well, and aim for aesthetics, you can have a good variety of things to play most games.
I really think that damned Tron stick is a key component to most frankenpanels!

I had multiple (not franken) panels at one time. It was a real pain as you said. Storage was a huge issue. I went to a modular approach and am very very happy (see sig for pics).

That's a nice setup, but it looks like it'd be a pain to swap panels out to play different games. How much work is that?

Thanks! It's not as bad as it looks. 4 screws with an electric screw driver and plug in a network cable to swap joysticks. Takes < 1 minute. If I need to do a very specific layout it may take 2/3 minutes. Totally worth the flexibility for me. I think the machine spends half of its life w/ the Robotron and Defender configs though, I can play those forever. :)

I have had the Robotron setup on mine for months now. :) I have been playing a lot of Black Widow.
