Suggestion for you!   :D

Check for store closings or remodels for display cases!  This is how I got mine for my game room!  You can find great deals!

Since these cases are commercial, they are big & roomy, Just Perfect!!  :wink:

You can even paint & customize them!!!

Good Luck!  ;D

At least, the first picture of Dexter, himself!  :) Thanks for posting these new pictures, Cobra Command & Space Ace are in a very good condition  :-*

Dexter, I've seen on TV yesterday  :-\  :arrow:

The number of deaths from bushfires that have already claimed 171 lives in the Australian state of Victoria is likely to rise, officials have warned.

Police believe some of the fires were started deliberately - actions which Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said amounted to "mass murder".

Survivors have recounted how they fled walls of flames. Some people died in their cars trying to escape the fires.

Some rural towns have been completely destroyed.

Police have sealed off a number of sites, including the devastated small town of Maryville, as possible crime scenes.

Victoria State Premier John Brumby said: "We have had whole communities just completely wiped out, completely obliterated, by what people would describe as literally a fireball that just came over the hills and devoured everything before them.

 :o :-X

I really hope there's no problem for you, friends or family  :-\

Thanks guys,

Bruno, I built the Space Ace myself from the ground up  :D and the Cobra Command is in good condition.

As for the bush fires, it is REALLY bad  :'(
I am in Sydney, no friends or family live near the fires, but I feel for the ones that have lost their homes and/or their lives  :'(

The mrs said to me today why don't I convert the garage into a game(s) room  :o (large 2 car garage) if it wasen't such a slant I would. Might have to look to see how much it would cost to make even  :D

Well looks like I am going to be able to get about 12 or so machines in the room. I did want to add a Pinball, Vending machine and a jukebox.

I'm going to make a wall mounted jukebox, unsure if I can fit the other stuff in  :(

Here are the games that WILL be in the room:

Space Ace
Dragon's Lair
Cobra Command
Cliff Hanger
Peter Pack Rat
Marble Madness
Gauntlet
Rolling Thunder
Discs of Tron
Interstellar Laser Fantasy
Pyros/Wardner
Hyper Olympics

If I can fit them in

Out Run
Juno First
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Might have to add a MAME cab for some of the other games I like to play.

Also managed to find a HUGE orange rug for the floor (going for the 80's retro look)

More pics soon as we are still unpacking after the big move.

That's a gorgeous case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I bet you DL SA goodies will look great in there!

A quick, but VERY important note to all the board members:

If you use flourscent lighting in anything, (display cases etc.) be sure to get UV protective sleeves for the bulbs, or your goodies will slowly fade away..  :?

These can be found in archival supply catalogs.
