X-Arcade Showcase Cab, BYO Monitor :

Looks pretty neat, albeit pricey at $2,600.

I paid them only 1/26 of that price ($99.99 + shipping) for the exact same (++) control panel, they called it the X-Arcade XXL.  In fact, I even bought two XXL's at that price (it was a clearance price, I gather they were originally more expensive when first released).  They therefore don't sell the XXL any more.

(++)  Where I say the exact same, I mean in terms of the size, weight, and dimensions of the control panel, plus the on-board controls.  Admittedly the artwork on this Showcase Cab is more fancy ... the XXL has their standard black-style artwork, ala the Tankstick.  Naturally the XXL doesn't have with the pedestal stand.

Thoughts ?

Really pricey but you get the lifetime warranty and a company that has been around for a long time.  This is BYOAC so what more can I say.

Pretty sure you can do a lot better than that for your money. That is the same sort of cash you would drop to buy a brand new Arcade Legends 3 or similar turnkey machine. If you were going to customize the computer anyway then I am sure there are 20 guys on here who will build you a pedestal for a heck of a lot less. I don't build cabs much anymore (I feel I have gotten good enough at that so now I am concentrating on mastering monitor repair).

Yes, I certainly support the company, and am glad to see them keep releasing new products.

I'm really happy with my 2 * X-Arcade XXL's, the build quality is phenomenal.

If I had a spare $2,600, why not buy this ?  It looks like a top-notch unit, and I love the idea of a Showcase Cab  (although I suspect my wife wouldn't love it "quite" as much).

I bought a new 5-in-1 console adapter off them recently.  It even has a "dual stick" single player mode (using a two player panel) for Robotron and Crazy Climber.  There's Crazy Climber on the NES which actually uses two * NES pad's, you can play this on a modded console using emulators, and an X-Arcade panel with this console adapter :

Not to go off topic on the adapters though … we’ll keep the discussion focussed on their new Showcase Cab.

It doesn't come with a monitor for that price? Keep walking.
