Pimped out??? What are you talking about?

Seriously, I don't think anybody was trying to drive nullboy away, just helping him live longer.

I suspect that he's looking for something much larger than a gamecube LCD. Check out www.bensbargains.net . You can always find good deals there, such as Dell's current deal where you can get a box perfect for Mame including a 15" LCD screen for $499.

You know what would be great? You could have two toilets back-to-back separated by a screen. Mount controls in the top of the tank and then you and your wife would no longer have to take turns for the bathroom. Now there is no time that you will have to spend apart with your loved ones.

Get a micro PC or one of those new Dell desktops. They are small and can be placed under a seat. With some imagination you could mount the LCD on the roof of your car and flip it down for playing; just do me a favor: don't put it in front of the driver.

im thinking of making a very secure harness for a pc monitor but om not shure any ideas on making that work anyone?

android · « **Reply #48 on:** April 22, 2003, 10:22:29 pm »

Still have that idea stuck in your head?!? Ok. Fine. Get a big ass monitor (a D9200 preferrably). Then find a big ass PC tower and put it in there too. Then drive as fast as you can while playing a nice game of "Destruction Derby". With a little bit of luck, your gene pool won't get perpetuated.

Here's a power inverter on sale, however In the paper copy of their catalog they have it listed for 29.99 I wonder if it was too good of a deal?
http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=6970&langId=-1&catalogId=4006970&PHOTOS=on&TEST=Y&productId=11980

EDIT
ok if you want to get it for 29.99 like it is in the cataloge go to the top of their page and click on Order from catalog.... enter item # 45519 Catalog #256

dood your room started caving in? I think you need to get a job and maybe move to a better part of town before spending any money on arcade crap.....

paigeoliver · « **Reply #52 on:** April 24, 2003, 10:11:15 pm »

Any size PC is fine for inside the car, provided you strap it down under a seat, or in the trunk.

You will also probably need a BIG power invertor. I used to have a fanless PC with a 15" touch screen in my old Honda (was designed for cop cars, but I found it at a pawn shop), and my 300 watt power invertor just barely handled it.

Magnet_Eye · « **Reply #53 on:** April 24, 2003, 10:28:13 pm »

I say rip out ALL the seats in the van and convert it into one big cockpit MAME cab!

Or lets MAME a Star Wars cockpit cab and somehow mount it to one of those electric cars/golf carts!! A Star Wars Cab you can drive, cool.

$:-\$

There still remains one big question here.

Why?

Do you really spend that much time in your van that a Mame setup would be worthwhile? You can't play while you drive you know.

skirge66 · « **Reply #57 on:** April 25, 2003, 01:48:54 am »

from the sounds of it, he's livin in his car ...and you have a mame in your house don't you?hehe...at this rate we'll see you sitting in a denny's stirring katsup into a glass of water tricking yourself into thinking your getting nutrition (laugh if you will, i watched homeless people in san diego doing exactly this)...prioritys man...priorities...get a reasonable place to live first

I remember when I worked at Mc Donalds (10 years ago, so no jokes!). This one homeless guy would always come in and eat condiments from the condiment bar (lettuce, onions, pickles, and catsup).

SO what..got to do what you do to survive....

we all do it in some form.

what about the mobile Star Wars Cab?!!!!!

And what, may I ask, does this have to do with anything? Sorry but I simply can't understand your logic: at what point do you go from pipe leak problem to an in-car arcade?

If water damage is your concern, wouldn't it be just easier to cover the cab with plastic and save yourself the trouble of the car hacking? but that should be a moot point now that your leak problem is fixed.

Anyway I'm still puzzled...
