It unfortunately gave the world Zack Snyder.

He gave us Watchmen, at least. And considering the ideas the studio had for the adaptation, it could have been a lot worse than what we got.

So, moving house this week. I'm absolutely dreading the arcade machine move. Something always stops working on these things when you move them from one location to the other :0/
At least the new house has a garage(and a potential arcade room to the side), so getting them in to the new place should be ok.

I'm going to wrap them in bubble wrap, bedding and a final layer of cling film and hope they survive the journey. Perhaps I’ll light a candle to the arcade gods as well

Any advice on protecting them is appreciated. I've got the Candy cab, Ridge Racer upright and Point Blank going in the truck(and another small mostly unimportant cab).

Looks fancy http://www.analogue.co/pages/24k-gold-nes

I'd rather spend the 5k on something retro and rare.

It would want to be made from pure gold for that pricetag !

For those that use my Arcade Artwork site, it might become limited in the next day or so.
My hosting provider isn't happy with me for hosting 120GB+ of artwork on their "unlimited" plan and require me to upgrade to keep everything running smoothly.

So my unlimited plan, which I pay a decent amount for, is actually limited(the usual story). It's not so much the amount of data, but they say it's personal storage and goes against the terms and conditions.

Anyway, they want an additional €1200 per year to keep the site running as it is and I'm not sure I want to spend that(and I don't want to go back to hosting the large stuff externally)

I'll host it for you if you like for a 3D print or two.

Sure, but I don't think you'd thank me when you see the monthly bandwidth usage on arcadeartwork.org

My bandwidth usage truly is unlimited.

Seriously I don't care. Send me a PM and we'll sort something out.

You're not talking about a home bband line are you?
And because of the way the site runs I need the site to run on the same server(Linux) as the artwork resides along with PHP 7.0, Perl 5.10 or later, MySQL etc etc. Also, min 8TB monthly bandwidth as that's the least I can get away with it seems(I'll take more if its there ).

No it's not a home connection... I have an account with Dreamhost in Canada. I can do PHP 7.0 and Perl 5.10 with unlimited MySQL databases. No need to worry.

They're pretty good about actually being unlimited in both bandwidth and storage space.

They have no AUP policy either.

Cheers, I'll check them out.
