Looking For Project Ideas...
« on: October 07, 2013, 04:14:22 pm »
So I'm (hopefully) going to be buying this thing this weekend.



I'm thinking about turning it into a VS. system of some sorts.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Well, if you want to go for something dramatically different... it kind of looks like a face, complete with eyes (monitors), nose (keyboard), mouth (panel), and neck (base). You could have some fun with artwork and background images on your frontend to play that up.

That's definitely a 'scoring screen' from a bowling alley!   :laugh2:  It would unique to see you create a vs bowling game.

i think it looks pretty cool actually.  you could make a regular joystick/button panel on the flat part and use the current buttons (keyboard looking panel) as like a quiz game type control panel.  i hope youre getting it for a good price  :cheers:
