Although not an actual 'shopping' log, this will be a log on converting a DM to a Demolition Man on Steroids, the steps involved, the equipment used along the way, issues and challenges as they arise and finally the end result. Oh and some photos / videos as the project rolls on and the post necessitates.
Has anyone done this in the group yet?
If you have questions or suggestions please chip-in.
To start with my task / acquire list looks like this;
1. Purchase DMoS software & Translite (before it gets 'pulled' from the community like CCC) - Done

4. Install ColorDMD - Done

Adding SSD, memory, wifi card (so I can remotely control and update the PC) & Windows 7
£336
6. Install DMoS software onto PC - Done
7. Install P-ROC - Done

$329
8. Full LED conversion
€149
9. Test and trouble-shoot set-up, using initially PC speakers connected to the PC (all game sound/music will now come from the PC)
10. As the internal sound board and speakers are no longer used on a DMoS (sound comes form the PC controlling the game, thus PC speakers or the like), this step will be to upgrade the internal speakers, sub woofer, and install a car power amp to drive them from the PC
