[QUOTE="Ark Malmeida, post: 87997, member: 285"] I've been seriously considering building a cabinet myself. I've been keeping an eye out for good deals on graphics cards, TVs etc. I've built PCs, but it was a LONG time ago, so I've been doing some research on what parts are good nowadays. I've looked around on different forums (vpin included) and the threads are good, but a lot seem outdated. I'd love a link to some good end to end build threads or a good discussion of it here. I do have a few questions for you Mayuh (or anyone else that wants to chime in): - What are the requirements on the playfield TV? I'm assuming you'd want 1080p with a low response time and 120Hz refresh rate. Is 3D a must? It certainly would seem to add significantly to the cost of the TV. - What's good for a video card? At least a GeForce 560? A friend of mine is willing to sell me a geForce 460 for like $40, but I think it wouldn't be all that future proof. - Is a real DMD worth the extra cost, or would a small third screen do the trick? A parts list or any other tips/comments on what else would be useful in a cabinet - I've read some about usb tilt sensors, ledWiz boards, etc. would be great. A new thread here (I don't think we already have one do we?) with this would be fantastic. [/QUOTE]
