[@markpoulsen6429]

Looks great! Just finishing up the cabinetry on mine. Fun as hell project, lots of things to focus on!

[@GearheadDaily]

Absolutely! I'm a cabinet maker, so that part was easy, the computer part... not so much LOL

[@GearheadDaily]

baller installer helps a lot, but yes all of these are VPX10

[@mikebrooks447]

Where do you get the software to run the tables on your build?

[@GearheadDaily]

look up pinuppopper

[@Jebusisblatantidolatry]

Hi. What size monitor?? And for the backbox?

[@GearheadDaily]

I can't remember, but 43" works fine, back box is 32"

[@ProJecT335i]

Did you build this yourself? I saw part one of it being built. If so, do you build for others? I want to get a custom wide body Vpin but not sure where to go about it. Thanks.

[@GearheadDaily]

I did yes and i'm building a second right now. I will make them for people near me.

@@GearheadDaily Awesome. Not sure where you’re located but I’m in TX. I’ll pay shipping. Lol 🤣. Love your work. It’s amazing

[@GearheadDaily]

@@ProJecT335i lol thanks, but i try not to ship stuff. Once it leaves my shop i don't want to have to do customer service LOL I'm in MN btw.

[@tapevinylvibes]

Which software do you use to switch between tables, the selection overlay?

[@GearheadDaily]

pinup popper

[@stuartsherman5975]

Awesome video. You did an awesome job. You mentioned it runs in 4k. Do you mind me asking what cpu and gpu did you use? Also, what type of TV did you use for the main table? Any light you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

[@GearheadDaily]

I don't remember the CPU, I7 i believe, but the gpu was a 980ti. The TV was a TCL 4k TV from walmart. My newest build has 4k 120hz and a 3070

[@stuartsherman5975]

@@GearheadDaily Awesome! Can't wait to see your new build.

[@GearheadDaily]

@@stuartsherman5975 Thanks, i'm about to make a walk around of it later today :)

[@joewozniak2231]

Great work. Need to get working on mine again soon. What monitor is that?

[@joewozniak2231]

Never mind saw it’s a tcl

[@GearheadDaily]

@@joewozniak2231 all good, it was a budget TCL. but still 4k UHD

[@RearviewMirror-ij2pr]

Would Windows 11 run the software without issues?

[@GearheadDaily]

I've heard that it works fine, but some have issues. I'm keeping 10 for now

[@RearviewMirror-ij2pr]

@@GearheadDaily Ok, thanks.

[@guitarobot]

Where have you been?

[@GearheadDaily]

Hey bud! recently i took a new job and haven't had a lot of time for much else really. Now that I'm getting the hang of the new gig I can breath a little bit and have some fun :)

[@guitarobot]

@@GearheadDaily Happy to have you back. Nice machine by the way.

[@GearheadDaily]

@@guitarobot Thank you sir! I've got lots going on, just haven't posted anything about it! :D

[@daveeagle2721]

Great work. Looks like your pinball machine is moving right along. It looks great man. I should post a video of my build. It's so fun to put together such a project isn't it?

[@GearheadDaily]

Sure is! I'm working on glass and artwork now.
