It looks really pretty, but for some reason it doesn't seem very durable for hard playing and the bars seem kind of short, but maybe that's just me

Otherwise..it's pretty.

I actually played on a pad like that.. my friend built the same exact one..... feels like the arcade with the exception of lack of recessed arrows

Those pads will be utterly crushed by the sheer cool of the DT500's.
They don't know what the Prince of Geeks (that's me) has in stock for this summer.

I could build a similar one to those, but it would cost about $100 less, look cooler, and be way more durable.

The framing is lame on those. A 3/8" Lexan base and plexi grid frame would be way cooler. Also, the arrows should be white, and the lights should be UV. The sensors could be swapped out with modified DT200 hydraulics sensors, and the bulk of the hardware could then be all based underneath a subtle dim light in the center panel. Also, the panels ought to be slightly recessed so you won't lose yourself, and the bar should be a 1.25" acrylic tube with a .25" hole, through which a string of LED's could be strung, so that even the bars appear to be made of lights (basically a PVC pipe bar, plus cool).

Maybe I'll make one this summer, if I still have enough money leftover after making my StepMania machine.

That'll cost you a pretty penny to make.

Assuming poorly, because they're 12" square tiles.

Ever try playing on those? >>;

Basically, it's a thick CF with lower sensitivity and without the godly inability to break. The lighting's interesting but too basic.
