[QUOTE="SpiffyRob, post: 121282, member: 450"] If you don't mind sacrificing a few of the fancier features, building a mini cabinet can be pretty seriously cheap. Get yourself a 22" 16:9 monitor for the playfield and a 17" 4:3 monitor for the backglass. Build a wooden box. Buy an iPac and however many buttons you want. Drill holes. Wire it together. Put brackets in the box to hold the playfield. Rest the backglass on top. Hook the monitors and iPac to a computer. Done. [IMG]http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/i6gam68jrawyx89/2013-07-06%2017.23.16.jpg[/IMG] If you want to keep going, you can paint it, add glass, add trim, build a backbox, add shaker, add LEDs, add analog nudge support, add a real plunger, add a real DMD (or get a third monitor or it)... the list goes on. This will help with the immersion but not your ability to play (with the exception of analog nudge and, I suppose, a real plunger.) [/QUOTE]
