Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at 1pm! If you are bringing food for the meeting I should have extra fridge space for you.

Hello everyone,

As we know, many of us who like reef tanks have many other hobbies in common (Wes and I are a frightening example) I know there has been some interest in my Arcade. Some have seen it in person, others have seen the shameless 'coffee maker' picture I thought I would put together a meeting/seminar on building them.

Topics that I will discuss:

Cabinet plans/materials
Tools required
Control options
Price

IDK what the that is but i want two of them.
How to categorize all the woman's phone numbers you receive after they see it
Displays, which is better for what
PC options
Front end software (GameEx, MAME, MALA)
Games
Other uses for your Arcade: jukebox, DVD player, etc
How you keep your neighbors from beating down your door to play it

So, if you are interested in building your own arcade, come on by. If you'd just like to play and enjoy some snacks you're more than welcome. The meeting will be a few weeks away, depending on when works for everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Please RSVP in this thread if you would like to attend.

Sorry JD, didn't get to ask you how this went...so how did it go?

[slandis3]

it was horrible, sat around a bunch of grown men and women playing video games.  I learned that when I get ready to build mine I'm just going to buy the parts and call JD and watch him build it. His arcade looks great.

[jd]

Whoops, I missed these.

Thanks to everyone who came out. I'm hope you had a good time and learned a little bit.

I would love to take an weekend and build one start to finish, if I can facilitate some garage space. If you might be interesting in something like that, let me know. I think we could put one together in 2 afternoons.
