Hello! and a Question about DreamHomeArcades

(1/3) > >>

AICJDR:
Hello everyone!  I'm the new guy in town and I just want to say I am glad I joined this forum.  I have been coming to this website for a while now, but never signed up.  Everyone seems really friendly and helpful so I thought I would give it a whirl.

As of right now I own a 4 player TMNT konami cab and I love it....but I have been wanting to get a MAME cab forever.  I have done a lot of reasearch and basically have come to the conclusion that DREAMHOMEARCADES.com is my best bet.  Does anyone know anything about this website?  Are they easy to deal with?  Do they make quality products?  Is it worth the money?  I have about 2 grand saved up right now for a cab and was wondering what your opinions were.  I know I could build one myself I guess, but I really don't have the time or the motivation to do it.  Has anyone bought from dreamhomearcades?????  Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!! ;D

Welcome to the forum, AICJDR. I looked up that website, and it looks like they do a good job. However, you might want to check online store reviews websites to see if they're reputable. There are kits out their for building a control panel(if you're looking for a two-player set-up). It's called the Mini-Pac, and it can be found at http://www.ultimarc.com/index.html I'm new to this as well, so my advice is limited. Also, if you are a younger guy(like me), you could always build a cabinet out of wood with your father(like I'm doing with mine), or with a friend that's skilled in woodworking. You can also use a PC and a PC Hardrive for your cabinet as well(that's what I'm going to do). Take a look around the forums, see what other people have made, and take bits and pieces of their concepts to make your own concept. If you want a good motivational quote, here's one: "If you stand on the shoulder of giants, you can see farther than they did...". When I was piecing together all of my information, a member known as "Nephast" told me that quote. So you don't have to worry about taking bits and pieces from other people's cabinet to make your own creation. Also, the cabinet-building hobby can be consuming, so be aware of that as well. I hope this information helps. They've been very helpful to me as well. Also, the administrator of this forum(known as "saint") published a book, which I recommend buying for beginners(already bought my copy). The best place to get it from is Amazon.

DaOld Man:
Thats a cool pedestal system.

Looks like a pretty nice pedestal.  The video reviewer kind of made it seem like it came with all the games, which wouldn't seem like a smart venture on their part IMO.
