A new player in town. For all non diy people.
Steep, but a pretty good offer looking at the specs and all the pre purchased stuff.

And they managed to show dmd and backglas for TPA? Huh.

Who of you guys is behind this? Show yourselves!

Looks pretty good

I'm going to guess it uses static images for the TPA backglass images. Since it has a custom front-end it can probably do that and with the SSD it'll be pretty seamless.

Also I like their optimism that something that weighs 35lb and has a built-in 23" TV and PC can just be "whipped out and put on the coffee table". Kind of like "portable" computers back in the 80s, like my dad had.

interesting but seems really spendy for what you get...to small honestly for that kind of money

Too bad they don't offer their custom front-end.

I saw these at CAX. The flipper buttons are too far up making you stretch for 'em, and the corners are too sharp for your palms. I didn't bother to look further into how they did the backglass since I was turned off right away.

Yeah, for that kind of cash they could have made a decent custom lockdown bar.

The handle for the guy from pinballbulbs.com is BigBoss or markmon. Don't know much about this product, but he's a solid contributor to the virtual pinball community.

I really wish they would sell just the software option to have the DMD on a separate monitor. I don't need anything fancy. The components are very modest in performance compared to a typical gaming rig, and it looks like they were chosen for their low power usage and cooler operating temps.
