Get a steel tip board. Way cheaper, way more fun. There are apps for scoring if you don't want to do it manually.

That looks nice. What sort of wood did you use for the backing?

You can download apps that will keep score for you, or get external scoring mechs. I use the apps sometimes, but most of the time we're just playing games like around the clock when socializing, or our own variation. I dont need to have a machine keep track of how many darts Ive thrown, so I've never quite understood that. Scoring common games (cricket, 501, etc) is really easy on a whiteboard, too.

Steel tip >>>> soft tip. The nicest bristle board you could ever want will run at most $100. It is quiter, as Floyd mentioned. There are a plethora of lighting options, none of which are going to cost much at all. Very few bounce outs. I think every game room needs a dart board, but this is just one of those cases where you can save money AND get a much better experience.

Edit; here's the board I was thinking of, and it's only $65!!!

Or you could get a better experience for $65.
