Hi Ben,

 

I was just wondering if you could make an arcade machine with a fighter stick, built in games console exp.

(PlayStation 2), a coin mechanism and more.

 

Many Thanks,

 

George

    I just had thought of some ideas of gaming computer designs which I just found your channel and wanted to share with you some of my ideas. My first idea is building a gaming computer pinball machine with the parts of the computer on the inside where the ball gets pushed. My second idea is a see through gaming soda machine where if you decide to play a game on the screen and beat the highscore, you get a free soda of your choice and if you lose, you have to pay. I have many more ideas to share so you can reply to this message if you like my ideas. -Jamie

    "My first idea is building a gaming computer pinball machine with the parts of the computer on the inside where the ball gets pushed."

     

    Are you talking of building a computer inside a pinball case? Would you still be able to use the Pinball? Were you talking putting the computer parts into the pinball game and would the computer still be usable?

     

    "My second idea is a see through gaming soda machine where if you decide to play a game on the screen and beat the highscore, you get a free soda of your choice and if you lose, you have to pay."

     

    I am taking you mean a machine that dispenses either cans of soda or bottles of soda since anyone who has built a water cooled computer system knows its never "if the liquid leaks" its always "when the liquid leaks"  and with sodas having a acidic nature corrosion is very bad to electronics. Then what games would you use? If a console game then you would have to write code and implant it into the game code so it will send a signal to a output then to a circuit that would then dispense the soda.
