New Project


Started on a new project this weekend. Virtual Pinball machine, plan on using a 42 inch tv for the playfield, and a 32 inch one for the backglass and 19 for the DMD display.
Have ordered most of the hardware now, just need a few odds and ends like fans for cooling. All the main parts have arrived though, so I began cutting out the cabinet this weekend, plan on making 3 machines in total.
Computer I plan to use is quite powerful, 6 core system running two 6850s. In this picture you see the bezel of the Sanyo 32 inch TV I am using for the backglass. Here I'm just testing the backbox for fit, I used a wobble blade to groove channels into the wood which the TV bezel sits in and will eventually hold the decased LCD in place.
Should have the backbox completed shortly, and then will start on the main cabinet. The board below the TV will eventually be cutout to hold the DMD display (19inch monitor), and a couple of speakers.
