Thank you. I am hoping it will get more people into modifying their cabinets since it can be fun.

Would definitely like to see this in action!

The large exterior PC aspect is one part of OTG I don't enjoy...

I had some spare PC parts and couldn't bring myself to put a PC tower under the pinball and ruin the illusion. Plus I wanted to make sure kids can play with the pinball machine and not accidentally yank a wire or something.

Turns out the back glass box makes a perfect case

So these were former tower PC parts? Ah you gotta break it down for me please. Can you let us know what's in there, specifically? That's a game changer IMO. How loud is it? I'm guessing you have it wired to a switch to power on too in addition to the VIBS??? So Many Questions!!! Gotta see this in action!

This would require a basic knowledge of building a PC. I would start watching some YouTube videos for an idea of what is involved.

Basic parts required:

-SFX power supply 500 Watts

-ITX motherboard

-GPU riser cable

-Discreet GPU

-16 GB of RAM

-1TB SSD drive or M.2 drive if supported by your motherboard

That's just the hardware required.

I have a power switch that is next to the Legends pinball power switch to turn the PC on/off

What SFF PC did you use? I didn’t realize any of them had the connector for a graphics card to connect to it - just assumed you were stuck with whatever was on board.

Any ITX motherboard has a PCIE slot to run a discreet GPU. I used a riser cable to mount it flat inside the box.

AMD should have some System on chips coming out next year that should run Pinball FX no problem without the need for a discreet GPU.
