Nucore Experience ? Pinball 2000
ddstoys:
Cool a step by step of building up the base system would be great. Even the base system is out of my price range unless mine dies completely. But wouldnhe great to see what's involved incase I ever need to
ajlaird:
The Nucore system is fascinating and I look forward to seeing the setup in detail.
I assume an LCD monitor will work as well as the original CRT?
Pinballer:
The original Pinball2000 CRT as installed by WMS, will only work with Nucore if an adapter card is used. Something like this...

After consultation with Chuck from the Nucore team, I was able to gather a list of suitable parts to build the Nucore system. There would be many other suitable PC components and prices, the main thing is getting a compatible CPU & motherboard without spending more than is really required. The DVD drive list below, is only required to load the initial Nucore software. So you could save the $29 and borrow the one from your own PC to install the initial software. Anyway, below is a list of what we settled on. I purchased these items from PC Case Gear http://www.pccasegear.com here in Melbourne, I've listed each item with links to their website so others can see the parts and compare specs if considering doing this themselves.
1 Vantec ION2 460W Ultra Quiet PSU $44.00 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_1110&products_id=11137
1 Samsung SH-S223C SATA DVDRW Drive $29.00 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=658_667&products_id=13068

1 AMD Athlon CPU II X2 255 $75.00 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=187_345&products_id=1337

AJ, I saw a video someone had made on youtube and the LCD monitor they stuck in their RFM worked amazingly better. The clarity and vibrant colours left the std monitor for dead. Thats why i want to work out a way to add a new LCD monitor instead of the std one.
