Martin: Got the Viper Neptune with cabinet for a good sale price. The board performs as designed, the auto-scoring works well, the computer voice is easy to understand, and every different game has enough play options that it seems you will never run out of new/different games to play.
After playing with it for a few weeks, there are a few minor negatives for me (none of which are a reason to not buy this game, but I think should be mentioned):
1) Hanging it was a bit of a pain. If you do the two vertical wall screws (into a stud), getting the cabinet onto the screws blind is a challenge, even with two people, and I never did get the screws the right amount in/out of the wall for the cabinet to hang tight against the wall. After many tries, I finally just got it hung on the screws "good enough" and added shims to make it tight. Would have been so much easier if the board could be easily removed from the cabinet, then put back into the cabinet after the cabinet was mounted on the wall.
2) The volume settings on the computer voice are all very loud. Ok for parties with music, but in a quiet room, I keep wishing for one or two more lower settings.
3) This is probably only a...

Michelle WermuthMichelle Wermuth: The media could not be loaded. I have owned 3 cheap boards and thought they were all the same until my wife got me this one. The speaker is very clear and understandable and it is not the same old soundtrack all the cheap ones have. The darts stay in, we have played dozens of games the last few days and had only a few bounce-outs. The red LEDs make it very easy for everyone to see their score and know who is next. The cabinet, while not hardwood, is well-made and solid. The hardware was all in the correct location and assembled correctly. Came double-boxed and undamaged.
It keeps track of each throw and the total of each turn and knows if you accidentally hit a tile when removing your darts and does not double score, then changes to the next player automatically if you don't hit the button.
It is the correct size 15.5 inches. made by Viper right here in the USA.
Instructions for mounting could be better. I recommend using the 4 mounting holes, not just the center hanger because it's so heavy. But here's the trick hang it from the center hanger, level it, and then drill the pilot hole for the 4 permanent screws, then take it down and add the anchors then...

ChuckChuck: Using for the past couple months everyday and the only issue I have is the game always starts with 4 players so you have to push that button 14 times to go back to 2 players. Other than that, this board is fantastic. Well worth the money.

Susie Mayo: We were disappointed that it didn't come with a UK power plug, despite being despatched to a UK address - and there was no obvious mention that it would be an American plug. My husband really likes his present though and bought more darts for it. It's rather loud though and either he can't find, or doesn't want to find, the volume control!

Steven Marshall: Some have posted here about how this dartboard is made of poor quality laminated cardboard or whatever. Honestly, that kind of gripe is a REAL stretch with this board. It looks great, and is also surprisingly flush to the wall so it doesn't take up too much real estate. I got this board for my father as a birthday present for his game room and it looks great. Don't let some one tell you otherwise just because it's not made out of Pure Mahogany with fashioned silver inlets. I mean seriously. When expanded outward the board also looks great. And also, the pictures do do the board justice. It's truly a very pretty color and is a wonderful addition to anyone's home, garage or game room. Someone will be jealous when they see it.
My gripes are that it changes between players far too quickly, I think it's on an even faster pattern than being at a bar by a hair (and of course we're not at a bar) and also the bounce out really should register on the playing surface with a board this big and square. I know so few if any home boards do this, but because of the area and size of all the computer equipment this really should have been the board to break that mold since it would have been...

george seibel: IT looks good on the computer but it has flaws.the twin doors do not close properly. The darts are too fragile .I am frequently repairing them as they fall apart after a throw.The darts tend not to stick to the board.The manuel warns not too throw them too hardso they tend not to stay on the board.The add implied that the casing was /doors are solid wood.They,re either press wood or laminate/So I would recommend this product to no one.I,ve lost faith in shopping at Amazon.ca. Regretfully GS.

James M. Litschgy: We were at friends and they had a board, it was a lot off fun.
We could not find the one they had so we choose this one.
It works great but there is no way to correct a incorrect score.
It would also be great if when you turn it on the sound would be at the level it was last at.
The cabinet was damaged when it came they should maybe add a little extra padding.

Danielle Parker: Nice boad, works well, no damage, not a real high quality board, but for the cost a all around good board
