I'm hoping to get this 'out there' as a regular fixed-price cabinet. What do you guys think of it? Sorry there's no photos yet, but I don't build until someone is buying. I'm hoping to put it out for between £600-£900, depending on the projector people want.

Opinions always welcome....

The diet soda I'm drinking while playing is sure to kill me before sitting/standing does.

I actually really like this idea, here's my 2 Canadian cents, eh:

- illuminate the 'glass' cover.. ohhh pretty ;)

- adjustable height ? something incremental like a hand crank would give you.

- a franchise of healthy arcades, a total juxtaposition of the smoke filled dens of neon we all experienced.  All across the country, people attend them instead of their local fitness clubs. Suddenly women get into it, Curves Fitness becomes "Curv3s" and is promptly sued. A record-setting IPO, global licensing and branding becomes more recognizable than the new "Healthier Coke, Healthier You" campaign. Uh Oh! Suddenly scandal appears in the headlines.. a little used term suddenly becomes an epidemic.. subliminal messaging! Turns out the so called Healthy Arcades were indoctrination centres for a new mind-control algorythm. Stock market crash as even unrelated sectors are beat down in the scandal..

<breathes> ok.. I'm ok now.  :dizzy:

Cheers
