Planning to do a bartop... looking for feedback

Mike,

Are those speakers sold somewhere in the US or Canada?

Alternatively you can use these. I bought a pair for a 1p bartop i made some time ago and they can get pretty loud but the build quality on the amp is pretty cheap and the speakers are quite small though. Last time i bought some they were labeled as rosewill branded speakers and i spent only about 6 dollars shipped for them. Considering most mame games are mono, they work well. You get what you pay for though.

If you haven't already bought a bartop, I'd suggest going with one from ebarlow. His bartops are unique and made of incredibly strong wood. I've seen a bartop made by some guy on another forum and there was a nice crack in the laminated particleboard. I'd personally rather pay for durability and a unique look rather than some crappy wood that just looks nice on the outside. That's just me though. :beer:

I can run all PC games on the GTX660 at the highest settings for 95% of the games.

I ended up with a core i5 4570 CPU, 8GB RAM, 600W Corsair PSU, ASRock H87M Pro4 motherboard, Samsung 840 EVO SSD

I also using 2 x 3TB HDD for ROMS and PC games.

Everything is running perfectly. Wii, Gamecube and PS2 run flawlessly so far as well as PC games.

I have visual pinball running perfectly as well

BladeZ,

Could you share links to the RAM and PSU that you used?

What kind of CPU cooler / fans did you end up using?

Also, no overclock on the CPU, correct? Essentially, you're running the CPU/GPU as they are "out of the box"?

Thanks so much!

Owen

I just bought these for my bartop. I heard of video of them and they sounded quite good for the price. http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-USB-Powered-Portable-Speakers-Computers/dp/B00HPQ0H0K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399244066&sr=8-1&keywords=ARCTIC+S111

I used those for my bartop and they sound great. Surprising sound from the size. No amp needed or additional outlet.
