The $50 Virtual Pinball Cabinet - Part 2: The Hardware

[@trevorboys9140]

Really nicely done, excellent look and innovative use of the laptop screen!

[@girlinawolfhoodiewolf2426]

I love this thank you!!

[@thomaspetersen4512]

Really enjoying your virtual pinball cabinet build. Where did you source the button/usb interface board? Thanks

[@MONO-LITH83]

Thanks. I've got mine off amazon. Just search for 'zero delay' on amazon and you'll find a number of options.

[@mariolestingi6078]

nice build ... What kind of legs did you use for it ?

[@MONO-LITH83]

Thanks. Regarding the legs I just made some wooden ones.

"Should get my fire insurance updated." This video made my day. Thank you! 😂

[@chrisbraeuer9476]

How is that possible if you pay more than 100 bucks for a decent monitor alone?

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

You possibly sell them

Is this a 24" screen? Very nice machine.

[@MONO-LITH83]

Thanks. It is indeed a 24" monitor as the playfield combined with a 15" laptop as the brains and backglass. Imho the combination of these dimensions combine into a pretty believable machine. :)

@@MONO-LITH83 really awesome i want to build a 24" one as well. Like you for my music production studio :)

[@MONO-LITH83]

@@azamat19 Haha. Don't put it in your music studio or you won't get any work done. Good luck!

[@azamat19]

@@MONO-LITH83 right now i have a 24" screen upside down and a 14" usb monitor as a backglass. Takes up about 1 hours from my worktime ;) do you think the 24" is big enough? Did you ever regret that you didn't do 27"?

[@MONO-LITH83]

@@azamat19No not really. It's a small table of course, but I don't have room for a full size.

[@gmr2gnr]

Do you have the dimensions or plans for the build?

[@MONO-LITH83]

I don't have a schematic, but I can tell you that the bottom plate is 34 cm wide and 61 cm long. The height at the front is 10,8 cm and the height at the back is 20,8 cm. That results in a 9,3° inclanation for the playfield.

[@gmr2gnr]

@@MONO-LITH83 thank you! It helps a lot. Just want to say your build dimension is beautiful, symmetric width of the monitor to length of laptop screen. Maybe I'm just OCD, looks good for a diy project.

[@roythomasbaker]

Does your laptop have a dedicated video card? Or are you running strictly off of onboard gpu? Really nice work at any rate! Mini virtual pinball is certainly having its day!

[@MONO-LITH83]

Hi, thanks for commenting! To answer your question: the laptop has a GeForce MX150 built in. Currently I have a different laptop with a GTX 1050 since the original one was broken and could not be repaired. My new laptop reaches around 100 FPS on every table I tested so far on highest settings.

[@MONO-LITH83]

[@sammy8768594]

make an etsy page so i can buy it

[@VirtualArcades]

I wonder how much one of these would cost. I would buy it too.

[@janineharris3601]

Would you sale it I'll buy it

[@MONO-LITH83]

Nope. :-)

[@Woodwerker]

Not sure how this is $50 considering that laptop alone is hundreds of dollars...

[@ShaneHill69]

This will cost WAY MORE than $50

[@Jmcinally94]

$50.... If you don't include the laptop and monitor I already had knocking about 😂
