Hey, new guy here, just purchased this beast and am awaiting arrival in 3 weeks time
my first project, was going to go smaller ie 33 inch, but i have no large doors so that wasn't option, and since this machine seperates into 3 its fine. reason i wanted something decent sized is i'm making light gun games a priority (have 2 ems top guns on the way hope they were the best choice)
so anyway thought i'd check with the pros before ordering the other bits so far i (think) i need:
jpac
arcade vga
and thats it?
i have the computer sorted 3.2 ghz 2 gig ram, also will be going with hyperspin as a front end
so basically any thoughts, opinions are appreciated, cheers guys
(sorry if i have broken any forum rules, never know what ya getting into sometimes :) )

1 more thing in case anyone was wondering, its not coming with tekken 4 but a blue elf 2 309 in 1, so that won't last long in there ;D

Welcome to the forums, and to your new addiction :)
Cool looking cab - what are your plans for it? Restore to original state or modify it and make it your own?
Assuming the gear on that rig is fairly standard you'll need a keyboard encoder (ipac, keywiz, etc). Do you know anything about the monitor in there? Is it in good shape, and is it an arcade monitor vs. TV?
Looks like you could do some badass things if you redid the cab with a custom exterior, new controls, etc.
If you are new to the hobby the best advice I can give is to browse the forums and read everything you can.
Tell us more about your plans!

Thanks mate. Ah keyboard encoder i'd be going with jpac since its jamma.
As for the monitor i'm not too sure but i'm fairly sure it's a tri-sync arcade monitor. If not that a dual-sync. I'm pretty sure it's a locally made machine (new zealand) coin cascade or something
Other plans could include painting but will have to see as it's pretty massive and would be a mission to move. Also will upgrade the cp to all sanwa. Don't like the look of those bat tops :) . Still thinking about a name, any suggestions are appreciated.
I'l add more once I've got it. Put some good photos up.

If anyone has links to any similar projects that ie megalo 2's etc that would be cool can't find much like it anywhere.
For names what you guys think of "MAMEMOTH" on account of it's size. Not a moth themed machine lol
