Just noticed this part of the forum so thought i better "announce" my first cab.
Thought about building few years back but thought it was too much of a challenge but think i should be able to make the grade.
so far i have...
PC....
AMD 64 3800+ am2
1 GIG RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS (PCI-E)
120GB WD Sata
SONY DVD Drive
22 inch dell (Sony tubed) monitor ( i will be putting this monitor in my cab)
Controls...
30 or so buttons from ultimarc!!
2 j-stiks 8/4
1 i-PAC 2
1 opti-PAC
1 N64 usb adapter!
(on order)
Happs track ball 3" high ball
lash of t-moulding
2 Happ supers
1 coin door ( no coin mech)
1 4way trigger top jstik
Ive got the PC pretty much configured, using GameEx and fairly happy with it cos I'm building large extension to my house in next 6 months

and will have new lounge and will use the cab as home theatre setup with new plasma ( if she lets me)

but Mame still the main reason for building cab... so far I got Mame, N64, SNES, NES, Genesis, Master System, GameBoy, Atari 2600, C64, Spectrum and v pinball ( which i have yet to master) and 40 000 or so Roms
Due to house extension i have had to build a new workshop as old one needs to go and hope to have it wired up for electricity next week and then i can maybe start on my cab(glad i configured PC --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- start planning cab as you learn lots while running differant emus!!)
Still haven't decided on spinner or flight stik but deff want both not sure if i should hak a M$ wingman or go for happ heavy duty trigger, but if you have any ideas im all ears..
as for name falkensmaze is provisional but i might keep it...always liked and have used the tag for years now
P's should i case the PC or leave it bare for that ubergeekness feeling!!!!!
