I kind of like it, but it definitely needs a bigger screen for the 4 player setup you got going. Just throw a bigger screen at it, and a cheap arse computer and you are set. You built that thing with your bare hands, enjoy it! or sell it  :dunno whatever

I do think once I put a 42 or 46" it will fill it out a little better, I wish I can just cut down on the buttons on the panel hah.  The good thing is I have a PC ready to go if I want to put it in there.  The thing is, I dont need the money, and I have the money to put into both cabs, just dont know what I want to do with them..dont really want 2 4player cabs.

JRoz:

I guess what i'm asking is, should I just start over with this thing and get rid of it, or is it worth putting in another 200 bucks to upgrade to a 42-46"..I can probably get 75-100 for the current monitor, and have my 360 parts to sell

BadMouth:

"this bare showcase mombojumbo" - you obiously like the idea of a standard cab better.  :)

If you were to sell it and use the new cab for 4 player, would the new CP end up with as many controls, lights, etc?
If it's going to be simplified, I say sell this one if you can get that much out of it. 

I don't see why the 4 player CP can't also serve as a good 2 Player fighter if they're spaced farther apart than the standard NFL blitz CP. 
Cram Player 3 and 4 up in the corners and make them stand on the sides of the machine.  :P

I do like the idea of a 4 player cab, but I honestly dont use the trackball, spinner, 4 way stick up top, and 7 buttons for player 3 and 4....Yes if I ended up selling the current and using the new blitz/nba cab, I would probably just use it as is, 4 player sticks with 3 buttons per person..but I would eventually want another 2 person cab that had 6 buttons for player 1 and 2 atleast for fighters.  So maybe my best bet is to just keep the mame cab as is for 4 players, and then turn the other into a 2 person fighter.  I could just redo the top of the panel like you said and space out player 1 and 2 for a fighter cab.

Only problem with this is my showcase cab looks like it should be a fighter cab with all of those graphics as is.  i'm backwards with this, thats why i'm all over the place with the decision...almost tempted to just start fresh and do it right
