Rank, you are telling me exactly what I want to hear.
Also, the Y-Box was when Yoshi, from TheScreenSavers put a PS2, a GameCube, and X-Box, an NES, and an Atari 2600 all in one case with a top-of-the-line PC.
Something like that? Get the 64 in there for my Rush, and the DC for Jordyn's Crazy Taxi, and a PC for my X-Wing Alliance and swap out steering wheels and joysticks and oh god my weiner.
that's totally do-able. And I think I saw something similar to the Y-Box, but it only had a NGC, Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast in it. Built into a clear acrylic cube on a lazy susan so you could just turn it to whichever side you wanted to play.

See fram, the beauty of a setup like this is you can have a system in there that can play all of those games. Engineer the control panel to swap out easy (X-arcade makes a good standard arcade stick system, and you can set it up to swap out via USB or multi-jack for a steering wheel, flight stick, whatever you want). Get a decent TV or monitor in there, install your own sound system, pad the seat and you're set to go. You can run it off of an internal power splitter so it only has a single electrical cord coming out the back. It's not that tough.
God damn.
I've got ideas now, boy.
I'm telling you, I've got a Galaga cabinet I've been planning on doing this with for ages, but I've not had the workspace to complete it. This summer my father in law will have his workshop finished, though, so I should be able to complete it by the end of the summer. I've got most of the components now, I just need to finish the internal hardware and the soldering on the sound-sensitive light strips I made.
The biggest obstacle will probably be learning to do things like solder.
I'm pretty sure me and a bunch of buddies could crank out a couple of these things to put in the garage at by buddies' house.
I miss the Battle Tech pod days so much. Best 13th Birthday ever.
Soldering is pretty easy.
Welding is pretty much soldering, but barely being able to see.

I hate Limbaugh because he pretty much started the whole "conservative blowhard" radio shtick, meaning its damn hard nowadays to find talk radio in the car that won't make your ears bleed.

I've got a big box of components, like LEDs and resistors and shit, though, for doing all kinds of mods.
I totally need to get around to finishing my Rumble Mouse, but seeing as how my computer is still kind of toasted it isn't exactly a priority.
I'm just concerned that I'll put too much on or something, and totally ruin the equipment, and feel like an ass.
I've read too many internet stories about idiots who don't know how to solder fucking things up.
haha

Awesome, now I just need to go back to America.
It's too bad you don't get Don & Mike.
