Virtual Pinball Parts: What do you need?

Episode#6 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Build

In this video I will be talking about all of the parts you will need to make a virtual pinball cabinet as well as where I got them from, how much they were, and all of the little things you need to know about them. This cabinet will have SSF (Surround Sound Feedback) so information on all of the external sound card/exciters/base shakers/amps will be discussed. In future videos the LED addressable strips/dot matrix/DOF and mechanical upgrades will be shown. Remember you will need monitors and a computer to build this vpin cabinet and these have separate videos already out, check em out!
