 ## PC Hardware
 
+### Graphics Adaptors
+
+2 nVidia Cards, recent ones, no need for crazy expensive ones. GTX460 1GB at least.
+
+### Power-supply
+
+You will need a 750W supply to be sure the system runs smoothly.
+
+### Mainboard
+
+Robust and compatible Mainboard
+
+### Processor
+
+Any Intel i7
+
+### Speakers
+
+Mid-range 2-speaker setup.
+
+### Monitors
+
+3 are needed in total
+
+* Backbox, head of the cabinet (32")
+* Dot Matrix Display (15.6")
+* Playfield (46")
+
+For the main playfield the thinner the screen, the better. Mainly because the flipper buttons need to be in the most natural position for game play.
+
+### Memory
+
+2x8GB Ram
+
+### Disk
+
+1xSSD Disk
+
 ## Cabinet Hardware
 
 ### Electronics
 
+#### Fans
+
+:warning: The cabinet will become hot. Proper cooling is needed. Suggesting 200x200x20 fans. If you want to play it fancy, get fans with LEDs.
+
+#### LED Flashers
+
+These are high-powered LED elements and need passive cooling.
+
+#### Nudge
+
+Nudging a Pinball table is essential to good game-play. 
+
+#### Buttons
+
+We will need quite a few buttons. From the 2 Flipper buttons, 2 Nudge Buttons to the Start buttons and maybe a plunger button.
+The [following buttons](http://www.ultimarc.com/ultralux.html) have RGB LEDs pre-wired for the PacLED64
+
+#### iPac
+
+The iPac allows you to control arcade buttons, switches etc through USB. It acts like a keyboard and sends a keyboard signal.
+Latency is an issue and I would advise against rolling your own with an Arduino or Raspi.
+
+#### PacLED64
+
+The PacLED64 is an LED controller and lets you connect LED lights.
+
+#### Alternative: LED-Wiz
+
+A more universal piece of hardware that can control many different types of outputs, like solenoids, motors, lights etc.
+
 ### Woods
 
 ### Misc. Hardware (joints, legs etc.)
 
+4 table legs
+1 Coin door
+
+## Software
+
+* Windows 7 Pro (To run XP compatibility mode)
+* Visual Pinball
+* VPinMAME
+* PinballX
+* DirectB2S
+* Direct Output Framework
+
+# Build
+
+## Precision
+
+Some DIYers suggest a precision of 3mm (for the main screen fitting for example)
