Quoted from Luckydogg420:I get bothered by the “how hard could it be?” Posts. Because these are pretty hard to get working well. If the PC can be updated then I wouldn’t worry too much about it being a little buggy. If your up to the challenge then this might have the possibility of being pretty great, depending on what the actual components are. Building the machine is 80% of the work. Software can a challenge depending on your computer skills.
I have built one from scratch. Sold it a couple years ago though. Here’s my build thread.

No, I get that. Many times people (myself included ) will expect miracles from barely basic skills and slap job tools. I think you make fair comments.
I took a look at your build from 5 years ago. That was pretty serious! I particularly like the rod face plate idea!
From my planning stage I've found that a standard cab will fit within 1/8 inch of a nice 40" tv running at $250. So looking back to you, you used a wide body, and tvs were a little more too. Not to mention that now the bezels can/mus stay on, so no decasing.
I by no means think building one is a walk in the park, but I think with VPX and tvs the job has become easier.
Of course I'm cool with a retro looking cabinet so I don't need decals, but I clearly see your point. Fit and finish levels vary from person to person.
Back to topic OP! Sorry for the derail.
