Is this worth it?
(1/3) > >>
upprc04:
I found a cabinet on craigslist locally.  It is a standup cab and I haven't had a chance to see it in person yet.  It does include some computer (not a big deal if its crap or I probably have enough spare parts to replace it) and a TV for the monitor.  The XArcade dual (edit: had tankstick but it looks like a dual xarcade) is built in and I would plan on building a separate control panel at some point.  He is asking $75 for it.  What kind of questions or things should I look at regarding the TV?  Does this appear to be a good deal or might it be more hassle than its worth?  

I also asked him about the front of the cabinet and I guess it is a keyboard tray that can be covered up to appear closed.
Hoopz:
Looks like a good deal. If you dont like the xarcade, you can turn around and sell it. The PC may be older but could be good enough to use.

Worst case is you use your own stuff and donate the pc and tv.  Someone would probably pay at least $20 for the tank stick.

Have a buddy who likes gaming?  $75 isnt much money for entry level thats either ready to go or fairly close.
Donkbaca:
Totally worth it.  The trackball in the tankstick alone is worth about that much.
Vebbo:
I don't see any trackball there... according to pics its the one without trackball. Anyhow, I think its a good price.
BadMouth:
It's the dual stick, not the tankstick.
You can probably still sell it for enough on fleabay to recoup what you paid for the cab.

I'd jump on it if it isn't gone already.  There is a lot there for $75.
