Awesome Chris. Another one to watching closely.

[mameman]

gonna be sweet

[gear323]

How much are you selling the old cab for and where are you listing it?

[gbeef]

This is gonna be sweet!

[Guest gstav]

Yeee-haa!

Glad you dared to take the step as I love your new ideas and the artwork!

Snap-O'hoy Chriz! Want me daly pics!

Cheers!

[chriz99]

thanks guys! here we go

first pics

samsung LED screen got delivered. was surprised about the very thin package

testing the screen with my sttng vpin pc

decased it

and was surprised again about the 14mm - looks like a slimline cd-rom

mounted a wooden lcd supportframe due to the sensitive, just 14mm thin LED panel

and tested it again directly on my sttng vpin visual pinball gameplay is awesome when you enable the game mode and disable all other "image enhancer". I love the punchy image!

[maxxsinner]

Looking sweet Chris. Can I ask why your arm in the 5th photo looks like you had a small 'chroming' incident? Or are the rumors true and you are an evil genius from another planet?

[Numiah]

Wow, this is gonna be one helluva pinball monster !

[Guest gstav]

*lol* @ maxxinner

Looking superb chriz! Can't wait for this...

What's your timeframe? I guess 1 month, tops! Rigth?

[chriz99]

@ maxxsinner: rofl

@ mighty G: second cab is always faster done than the first one. I will switch to turbo mode

[epthegeek]

Your first cabinet was what pushed me over the edge to build one. This one should turn out redonk. I'll just go get some popcorn and watch with hefty anticipation.

[chriz99]

thanks ep!

decased my 15.6" widescreen lcd today. fits just perfectly on a standard speakerpanel. will paint the bezel black matte.

[mameman]

yeah i loved finding those 15.6's they are a real gem of a find. tempted to buy a ton of them and sit on em

[maxxsinner]

Jezzzus Chris. I was hoping to create something like your first one but your raising the bar here... Got new toys to put into this one or going with the same feedback config?

Curious minds need to know.

[Lucian045]

Looking sweet. Love the playfield TV. I have the same one for my home theatre but it's this years 3-D model. Picture is awesome, should be a killer playfield.

[chriz99]

cheers lucian

@max, let's see, maybe I'll find one thing or another

[maxxsinner]

Holding out on me... damn.

[chriz99]

got some parcels today

Teufel concept E300 5.1 high quality soundsystem with 10" subwoofer and two-way satellite speaker. Should be awesome with a xi-fi xtreme soundblaster card.

I will use it as a 4.1 soundsystem with 2 backbox satellites and 2 cabinet satellites... idea is to get more pinball sound from the cabinet/playfield section.

it will be mounted as follows

for that pc/component drawer I found some really nice "soft closing" slides. you can load up to 50kg

Where can you find those 15.6 monitors these days? Everywhere I looked had them sold out.

[luvthatapex]

I picked mine up at Bestbuy. It's a Dynex brand and was $159

Where can you find those 15.6 monitors these days? Everywhere I looked had them sold out.

[njay]

Awesome work chris, going to follow this build and again learn a lot from it

[chriz99]

ledwiz arrived!

mods: extra current/power wires, shaker pwm wire, heatsinks

thanks to klaus (wolfsoft.de) for the soldering job!

[Guest gstav]

Wo-haa! Looks like a racing motor there chriz!
