gigapig Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Looking very tidy Sir, but you might want to trim that Christmas tree thats growing out of its ass. Nice paint job, I wanna see the marquee.

rust2dust Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 It will be on the marquee. .....it's a play on my last name... Hint; has to do with the movie TRON. Flint's arcade....
cobrafuego Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 WoW everything its unique! love the painted side arts..by the way how did you make the stencils for the art???
rust2dust Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 Poster board and a razor knife. ....very tedious.
rust2dust Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Update.....went to clear coat the cab.....one side turned out beautiful. .....the other however bubbled up and ruined the design. The original template is ruined so....I'm down to a tough decision. .. Either I try to duplicate the original. Or I come up with another original design for the opposite side I already have something in mind.....
rust2dust Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 Getting closer....sorry about the lapse in updates... Between work and the holidays. ...seems like I haven't had 2 minutes to rub together. I still have a lot of work to do before it is done. Not to mention I still need to clone my hd before I put it in the cab.....I've seen too many horror stories as of late. Btw.....I decided to remake my original template so both sides match.

gigapig Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Very nice, inspiring me to make one. Has that other side been repainted?
rust2dust Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 Yes it has been repainted. I tried a couple other patterns but was not happy. So I duplicated the original. You can blame my wife....lol She said the other designs looked like shit by comparison.
rust2dust Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 Annnnnnnnnd.....my new pretty. Got room for everything on my old drive plus room to grow...
damageinc86 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 are those WD red 5tb drives pretty good? I have a 2tb drive right now, and I have managed to fit everything on it besides one big thing: PS1 Really want to have everything on one drive.
rust2dust Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 It's probably the only thing I wouldn't go cheap on. I've had quite a few hds and in my opinion Seagate is junk...I've had more than one go belly up on me I talked to a close friend who is in the field (builder, programer, ethical hacker) he swears by wd....so far he has been right The wd drives I own are 2 tb external 2tb internal 1 tb internal 4tb internal 4tb external And now a 5tb internal. Most are at least 2 years or older. Not a peep out of any of them.
Skinnysloth Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah, Seagate has a higher failure rate compared to WD and HGST (Hitachi) hard drives. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-update-september-2014/
rust2dust Posted December 11, 2014 Author Posted December 11, 2014 Update.....everything moved to new hd with nothing crazy happening. Starting wiring this weekend Hope to have it done before Christmas. Which is good as the Mrs. Is chomping at the bit to get her Mario cart on....
rust2dust Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 As long as no one walks in during the process and asks "whatcha doin?".....lol

gigapig Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Very nice, and the sound is awesome. I'm glad you streamlined the amount of systems, although 80 odd is still plenty
