The way my room is set up I'm able to make the most of this machines "V" footprint with pins on either side at an angle. I would not quite be able to get 2 angled pins in its place. However, the depth it requires ruins my other wall space as the room is only 12' wide. I can comfortably fit something narrow like SuperChexx or even a couch on the opposite wall of the pins. Add in the standing room behind these podiums and room to walk around the players and it shrinks fast. People go nuts when they see it. With 4 adults playing in a 5 round tourney the yelling and taunting gets LOUD. Fun for observers to be able to easily see the action. It definitely takes some space and I think that's partly why people are so floored to see it in a small game room like mine. Has a big presence in the room when it's on w/ all of the "neon".
