[QUOTE="Lostboy, post: 87955, member: 1412"] I heard a while ago that FarSight was going to offer cabinet support. I thought this was a great idea, but not realistic for me. I wouldn't know where to start to build one, and don't want to invest too much time learning how. Then I saw a [URL="http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/2287-Beta-of-Pinball-Arcade-for-PC?p=87761#post87761"]comment by Mike Reitmeyer[/URL] which said they were looking into partnering or getting a cabinet. This is great news! Now, I'm actually considering the PC version, depending on the development of this. I've always wanted my own pinball table. But it's hard to get one you really like, for a decent price. And if I did, I'd always be worrying about repairing the mechanics. I want something with low maintenance. In the hopes that FarSight offers their own cabinet, I have a long wishlist of things I would love to see in a virtual Pinball Arcade cabinet. These are ideas from someone that doesn't know the first thing about building a cabinet. -2 screens. On the backglass screen, I wouldn't want to see any Pinball Arcade art, just a screen. I think it would be better to simulate the DMD, speakers, etc, on screen, instead of actual ones. It would keep it more universal for all the different looking machines and I'd like to see them as original as possible. -A plunger. -Enough buttons to support games that use more. -Light(s) on top of the backglass for games that use these. -Some kind of sensor for nudging. -A light sensor, which auto adjusts the table lighting. -A dedicated computer built in just for TPA, with high end graphics. I'm not sure how expensive this would be. I really wouldn't like to drag my computer over each time I want to play a game. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to pay an extra $1000 for this. -Future proof / upgradable. When new TV technology and computer graphics advance, I'd like to update my cabinet, without having to rebuild the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
