would the DT600/DT610 hold up in a semi-commercial environment?

I'm building an SM machine for my school, and it would be much more efficient to buy a doubles DT600 or DT610 than to build because of the prices.

we have about 10-15 serious players, and about 50+ casual/they'll play a few games.

anyway, would it hold up with minimal need for repair?

EDIT: I know it cant be made "arcade-compatible", but that is ok since we're using a pc to run SM

GAHGRRVRRRRRRRRRMWTFKILLBABIES!

HomeDepot.com doesn't accept PayPal. =(

I guess I'll see what I can do about heading to the local Home Depot and I'll see if I can get some for a comparable price. If not, I'll work something out.

As long as they hold up 6 months+ we'll be good. Depending on the use of the machine, we're either going to upgrade all the parts with $$ we've made from it, or jjust pull it and stick it in my basement. thanks.

let me know when you have 2 DT610's ready for shipment.

oooo interesting, homemade arcade now! Anyway, set your goals in parts so you won't get swamped with all kinds of things to do

i can't wait to see the first pad to be finished. Depending how it works, i might or might not buy it.

Keeping you guys posted:

DT600 prototype construction:
-Almost all wood cut
-Bad angles because I couldn't find my square
-Working on sanding down the parts so that they fit together right.
-Was going to go to HD today and see if I could get my sheet steel there, but there were two medical emergencies in my family, so I wasn't able to. I'll try to go on Friday.
-I have some wood left over, but I was hoping to save it for the next pad. Should I cut up my scrap wood and replace the worst of the misshapen parts and get it finished fast, or save money and just sand the misshapen parts down?
-I'm finally to wiring. I have 3 old Dualshock 2's, an old konami softpad chip, and a generic metal pad chip. Which should I use for this one?

we can do a doubles baseboard. that'd be great.

-Try to use the scraps if they are not the right length/height/ w/e then you might have to use the other then.

-chips: it is still version 1 right? well try to make it so you can test one then the other later on. If you can't (since i don't know how to make pads...) then experiment!
