New Product From RAM Controls - 720 Controller Handles
[Link]
RAM Controls has come out with another one!
Press Release:

RAM CONTROLS NEW RELEASE ITEM
It's been talked about, it's been considered by others, it's even been poo-poo'd just as many times.
The 720 controller handle (not the entire controller, mind you, JUST the handle - shaft and knob) has finally been reproduced and made available to the arcade community by RAM Controls.
The knobs are made from precision ground and drilled phenolic resin, polished to a high gloss. The shafts are made from precision ground 304 stainless steel, machined and drilled to original Atari specification.
BYOAC, as always, is the first to be informed of the development! The discounted offer made to the BYOAC community will be significantly under the RAM Controls website pricing, so take advantage of it.
The reproduction control handles turned out really nice if I do say so myself!! There was a lot of decision making during this phase of the project, but all turned out well.
Take a looksie:

More info, including discount offer, at the link!

New project - Linux Arcade
[Link]
Added Linux Arcade to the examples page.
The author had this to say about their project:
My project is somewhat different from many other excellent cabinets you may find on the nice BYOAC website because it uses *only* open sources applications, from the operating system (GNU/Linux) to the various used emulators programs. I simply don\'t use and even have any microsoft software. Also, the provided plans are in metric measurements, thus easier to follow by european people. I\'m trying to emulate a lot of ancient consoles from classic arcades ones to mysterious beast like the Wonderswan...

This makes 1243 projects in the new database so far!
