skulljab Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I've been thinking, more like "obsessing", over the idea of a HyperSpin Cab since '09. I've built a few little dedicated set-top machines and put together a few cocktail tables with spare parts....but the time has finally come. I used an existing cabinet circa 1977...coupled with a Dell Optiplex 755 mid-tower with a trusty old 2.66ghz Core 2 Duo, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, and a low end HDMI-out video card....oh, and an ipac 2 plus a trackball with a controller from groovy game gear. I'll update this post with pics this week (should be finished). Any questions are welcome, I appreciate advice on what to do differently on the next cab as well. Thanks for looking! p.s.- sorry for the sideways pics...maybe I was uploading this from my cocktail table..!?
skulljab Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks, I'm hoping to have it finished this weekend. Still waiting for the trackball to show up in the mail.
rhdmaster Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Very nice cab, I can't wait till i get to that stage. still working on the system and saving for cab and monitor.
skulljab Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks, I'm getting closer to finishing this beast.
skulljab Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Pretty much done, Just waiting for graphics
MontyQ Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 loks good, what graphics are you putting on ?
skulljab Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks, I'm looking at some sort of collage or mash-up that will fit without looking too cluttered. I'll probably do something really lame, then I'll hate it, Then I'll have to spend time thinking about a good idea before ordering another set of graphics.

skulljab Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Thank you, I am pretty happy with it so far. I made a list of things that I would change if I ever built another one....it's a long list!

Trust me... I did the same lol But at least if you do it over again, you can take more time AND still have an arcade to play while you work on the new one! At least that's how I look at it.
