In Reply to: Opinions: Is it just me or do most of you spend more time messing with your cab then actually playing the games? posted by Agent Davis on 1, 2001 at 1:23 AM:

I have thought of your question a lot lately. My cab is finished in a version 1.0 stage. But I have always been crazy about building things ever since my LEGO age. It doesn’t matter if it is an old Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce that has to be restored or a freeware application project that has to be made. I always enjoy making things work the way I want it to work. My cabinet is just my latest gadget. I have really turned in to an obsession. I spend hour’s everyday planning the next version, ordering raw material, downloading rom files or just browsing this message board. I don’t think my cab will ever be finished until I loose interest of improvements or another project is getting higher priority.

Ohhh, do I play the games? Yes it happens. I use to play a game or two before I go to bed, but I usually do it on my desktop PC. The cab is started once in a while when we got guests, to me it is a piece of art, a statue of childhood memories, right in the middle of my grown up home. A thing I dreamt of as a child but thought as possible as having a water-cooled IBM mainframe in the living room!

Playing it or not, it is my dream come true and I love it!

: I'd have to say I spend more time messing with the cab. Hopefully that will change when I get it looking and operating the way I want it to.
