I didn't feel like using my fine woodworking skills for my first attempt and didn't want a fullsize so I bought the Arcade 1UP pinball cabinet and then basically gutted it and modified it. I got the PC and 3rd screens in and the speakers/transducers/amps, added more buttons etc. Spent far too much time this weekend trying to get an arduino working for control of tilt and plunger instead of just buying the board that just works all because its being scalped these days due to shortage but really instead of $25 its on Amazon for $85 and I should have just bought it lol.
Virtual pinball has come a long way. I think the point where I might jump in is when we get glasses free 3D so the table has real 3D depth to it.
