My wife doesn't understand... :)
I could not pass up this deal!
-
@johnodon easy just go to <removed scumbag resellers link> and practically that exact model is on there for $1089! Maybe if you show her that she will be happy! But maybe she is really just unhappy that now you will be playing it a lot! Ha.

I saw that deal on CL. Was hoping it would last through the weekend, as we were moving in to a new house. I guess I missed out.
-
@813_Alex Sorry about that Alex (kinda). :)
Nice guy Sean. Met me at the Tampa PD near the stadiums which was about halfway for both of us.

THAT'S where I put that bartop. Thanks for finding it for me. PM me and I'll give you my address. :)
-
@johnodon No worries. I finished my own bartop about a month ago. This one would have been for dedicated 4-way joystick games.
-
My question is what benefit is there to stripping the pi out for a Chromebox?
-
@Jste84 After looking up what exactly a Chromebox is I would surmise streaming and online capability would expand on what a Pi can do. It won't play any better emulators but it does become more versatile.
Personally I'd throw a Dell slimline in there if you're going to do a swap. But that's just me. I have a few lying around from work so it wouldn't cost me anything to do it.

I also have a Lenovo M92P Tiny that I can use. However, this bartop will be dedicated solely to arcade platform, I have changed tactics and just ordered a Pi3B+. I really want to use GPIO for the controls so I can remove the USB encoder.
I will use a Lenovo T430 laptop connected to our main TV for console emulation (4x PS3 controllers). This has Intel HD4000 GPU so it handles most everything that I care about.
