Like the title says, What are you running under the hoods of your virtuapin units. I'm in the middle of getting everything I need to set one up. I've been reading here and on a few other forums and everyone seems to agree the faster processor and more memory the better.
So far it seems everyone is running motherboards with an i3,i5 or and i7 processor with up to 8gbs of ram. I guess i'm looking to make this project as affordable as possible.
so Far I've gotten from craigslist:
3 - 42' plasma Screens which need minor work but all screens are good
32' lcd samsung for a backglass (free from a friend)
19' dell lcd monitor for score display
old cabinet and backbox which was already gutted and headed for the trash
So the larger items have basically been free or low cost (gas,time). Now i'm looking to make the computer side of it affordable as well. I know some of you don't like them, but if you suffer from lack of space, it's a great way to enjoy a lot of tables.
Is it better to use a real DMD instead of the 19 monitor? If the answer is yes, how exactly does it get hooked up into the system?
Please show off your personal systems and share what you are running.
I'm looking for more inspiration! I've also read that winxp is the system of choice. Is this what most of you are running? Do any of you run win7 underneath Hyperpin?
Let's see those beautiful cabs!
