you must email Zun about this, its awesome!! really great work!

you should also post this at MOTK:

http://www.shrinemaiden.com/

you should also let all the ZUN fanboys in Japan know about this as well, somehow(not sure how, post somewhere...), they would go nuts over this!

Finally

It takes a special kind of madness to spend $2600 to play a $15 game. Do not do this.

at least you KNOW your mad!!

You're a crazier man than I, bloodf, but much respect for seeing through a difficult project, and good job on a great looking cab. I'd love to have a go on that one day ^_^.

I love the last sentence on that page:

That's a lot of cash, but you get back what you invest in the long term (usually) ^_-

That is pretty crazy.

That's a great looking cab.
Makes me all warm inside seeing so much dedication. Looking at the costs cools me down somewhat though...

Yeah, lots of fun

It kind of brings them to life in a way a PC keyboard and screen doesn't. Get that arcade frantic clicking of the stick type deal, and the larger than life display. The speakers all being in the cabinet give it some pretty serious bass too - the sub is actually turned down but it's still pretty hefty sounding.

I do need a better stool to sit on though - current one is too low, almost ornamental really.

Why is it that in this picture:

it looks like the left side of the cab is wooden? In the final pictures it looks plastic? Are you thinking of replicating the cabs design in wood?

Because the cab construction is plywood frame, the plastic stuff all bolts onto it like clothes. I had to remove half of the plastic stuff to get it through the front door!

I must say that I'm very impressed with this. A beautiful cabinet for a beautiful game. I'm very happy to see that you finished this project.

Now that you are playing Imperishable Night on a cabinet, have you noticed an improvement with your score?

Post by **system11** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 7:40 pm

Yes, I was doing quite well - until the heat alarm went off on the PC. It seems I underestimated the heat it would generate and store in there!

The cab is now running without the board bay cover, and I've just placed an order for two very serious capacity 92mm fans. If I put one of these down low on the bay cover (pushing air inwards), and one at the top extracting, it should promote enough airflow. Cabs are noisy things, I've picked 12v 119CFM units, aptly called 'Tornado' case fans.

Yay! I just fucked up by double-posting due to that stupid 'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error' message. Whee.
