[QUOTE="priested, post: 217157, member: 3758"] I don't post photos much so hopefully this works. The first 2 show off my rig - modest as it is. This was built on the cheap. The the monitor and TV were old units I was no longer using elsewhere. The original TV was an old 26" HDTV (so old it did not have HDMI input - only DVI). This "mod" allowed me to swap it out with a 32" without upsizing the cabinet. The cabinet was made from a cheap black bookshelf bought from Walmart for $18 (you know, the Sauder type). For the controls, I tore apart a PC arcade controller I bought from GameStop and used it's buttons, joystick and control interface ($50). The cab is sitting on an old entertainment center I bought from a garage sale for $15. So, see, you don't have to be rich to build one of these things - only resourceful! Anyway, the pics aren't great but hopefully you can see the backglass and DMD display. I took 2 more closer up. One is a DMD table (Cactus Canyon). The other is a non-DMD (Funhouse). You can see that both are very functional using pinballnoob's mirroring technique. Again, there are currently, I believe, 6 tables where this won't work because the score is not in the center. All others are fine. The DMD tables are perfect. The others - not quite - but good enough for me. The design of my cabinet allows the top portion of the display that includes the DMD hidden. I only see the mirrored version on the backglass. My startup script places the mirrored window and I navigate the menus with the joystick. I am using another script for the backglass. It all works seamlessly now and I am very happy. Thanks pinballnoob!
