I'm back.....and I've got a project !

I'm back.....and I've got a project I'm working on.
It's been along time coming. I've been busy... and honestly just don't play enough to make these things a priority.

I picked up a bartop cabinet from Rick @ Gameroom Designs.
Rick is awesome! You can check out his site here : http://gameroomdesigns.ca/

I picked up the "contender" model of Rick's bartop kit.
This thing is awesome, it will look soooo good in my Nintend-ROW.
(that's what I call my row of Nintendo cabinets in my man cave.)
The bartop cabinet is actually modeled after a Nintendo cabinet, just smaller.
I'll post a pick later to illustrate the scale of the cabinet.

For this project I'm trying something new.
The cabinet will be finished in black and I'm going with a "Punch-Out" theme.
I got the artwork printed up locally and with the help of some awesome members
over on the BYOAC site I have some great custom artwork.

I'll be using a Raspberry Pi 2 for the brains of the unit.
I've never gone the Raspberry Pi route, but the fact that you can download the image online eliminates a ton of work. All I need to do is move over my ROM files and some minimal set up.

I'll be using my BLOG to post progress pics of the project and track the spending.
I'll post links when applicable.

Hopefully this will be a fun read.

Thanks all.
