Pinball Dreams (32" 19" )

Recommended Posts

Well listeners to my podcast and folks that know me will have seen me posting pinball

Screen shots

After setting up " Hyperpin " and setting up future pin tables (with a huge help from the top man Mike!

I've been running pinball tables using 32 plasma and a 19 monitor screen balanced on top of it ( tut tut all exposed wired! )

dd6ad5046b041f86f8d2cc54bfa0c2ee.jpg

Using a few spare buttons I've had great results

Now my original idea was to make a slim table and plug the HDMI and monitor into arcade machine

But I think if I'm lucky in the furture I maybe able to pick up a PC to fit inside it that will run it by itself

So copying some designs on here I decided to make it full sizeish...

So today I got the mdf and started the build

Wood cut into correct size and a dry fit

Table slope cut out

Another dry fit

Added front and back finger plates

And a quick sand down

And then when I got home I remember why I thought about the original slim size cab

Oh f**k ....hmmm f**k f**k f**k

Do I need those draws ???

Curved screen.. Nice if you can pull it off.. might just reflect horrilbly...

Now you tell me ! Maybe I'll leave the curves and put in a flat screen

And today I'll be cutting down the play field by a few inches

From this

Using a saw rather than black boxes (they are very hard to come by)

steve,

you will need to change the size of the top shelf (from your proposed cut shown above).. normally this is exactly the size of your back box base, otherwise it starts to look odd.

something like this.

the back box base size is normally 150mm - 200mm depending on design, as this is a mini pin probably 150 would suit it better.

Lol I was thinking the same ! Little roof extension

Ok bit wiggle and a tight squeeze but she's in for now

e73bca26f905d699286709721be73c73.jpg

And little test fit 2f29eddc297bb335e77b1afbf7d40a13.jpg

Using a old piece of plexi I did a mock up

I think the reflection will cause to much if a problem

The back glass is temporary until I find a wide screen 19 or 21 monitor

Oh to live in America where apparently everyone has a massive basement to put this sort of stuff in.

Unless you live in Florida and finding a house with a basement is like finding Bigfoot. I have to sacrifice the dinning room if I want to build a table.

So at the moment I'm running pinball programs on my arcade cabs PCs

Running on this gf card

17826d28882b9f5d1b1dbfb3e78c34d5.jpg

A little annoying because I have to keep swapping hdmi leads and also it means the pinball isn't stand alone

I tried to run furture pinball on the little PC even though the onboard card had hdmi future pinball ran so slow it was in playable

So using credit I've upgraded this little PC I have I bought this card using cex credit

And 8 gig of ram

I decased the mobo because the new card didn't fit in the slim case

And temporary mounted for testing

I don't think it's going run as smooth but

Only testing will tell

Well I'm not surprised just a little let down

After all it's only triple core AMD

( is that enough)

da12d556d505669a4189c3209ba9f752.jpg

It only has 2 gig of ram I'm waiting for my 8gig to turn up to put into it

Future pin is running but the frame rate is bad and it's flickers when the ball drains

Is this just because of the ram?

Or am I expecting to much out of this little machine?

Windows experience ratings don't really tell anything...they dropped it after windows 7...

I get a 7.4. Max is 7.9 I believe and I'm running a core i5 2500k

the windows rating is tied to the slowest component.

(normally the hdd or cheap ram)

Well better news today I picked up a wide screen monitor for £4 and done fans 50p each

0c049d037c80034760d1758335d0e667.jpg

And it fits a treat

dd8bfa45a7d634199dfbf9dada869c9d.jpg

I shouldn't be running as I have no fans fitted and the mobo is just sitting under the tv and not fixed in place

So just to recap my build price do far ( yes another budget build

£20 mdf for complete machine

£4 19" inch wide screen for monitor

£4 sub woofer and speakers

£2 PC speaker amp

£10 usb unofficial xbox controller

£n/a 32" LCD

£20 PC acer aspire 1300

£25 gt610 graphics card

£20 8g of ram

So a long way off any of epic builds but I guess I'm on my way to building my first pinball
