The mind numbing pain in the butt, the massive time sink and the fact that I don't even have a good rig built yet. ;)

I find them easier to build than a mame cab, reason being is if you use a Logitech wheel for example then there is no need to wire or build a complex control panel, hook up a jpac or jamma to USB. Pedals are simply a pot replacement etc.
My advice is grab a stand up cab and rip it apart, slap a LCD in with a Logitech wheel and core 2 PC, load the software and front end, away you go :)
Howard_Casto:
Heh, you obviously don't know where I live. I'm in rural WV. When cabs do come up for sale they are either over-priced or a 8 hour drive away. I have to build almost everything from scratch unfortunately.
The main issue right now is time and funds. My main mame cab needs a new pc, so I probably need to do that first. Then I'll have to buy a pc for the racing rig as well. In terms of the other stuff (seat, wheel, ect) I've pretty much got it covered.
So hey if anyone has suggestions on a budget pc let me know. I guess it needs to be able to run super model and that's about as high end as it needs to be. (Not particularly interested in high-end sims or other demanding pc games).

WHAAAAAAAT?
Have you ever heard of Coin-Op Wearhouse? If not go check them out, they're in Maryland and they deliver to neighboring states:
https://www.facebook.com/coinopwarehouse
Follow their Facebook page, their prices are dirt cheap too.
they had a fully working NAOMI universal cab that sold for $475 the other day... I see them posting up Cruis'n USAs and Daytonas in the $300 range all the time.
A friend of mine picked up a broken Daytona 2 and a broken Initial D from them for $200 a piece last year.
Seriously, their deals are so good on more than one occasion I've considered driving all the way down from NH to pickup a cab from them.
... No joke, you live within a day's drive of arguably the best source of cabinets outside of California.
Howard_Casto:
I'm sure they deliver to neighboring states... for a price.
I'm aware of them, like I said, cabs around here are either over-priced of a 8 hours drive away. You've got to factor in either the cost of gas or the cost of delivery. Either way those reasonable prices aren't quite so reasonable anymore. That's one of the main reasons their prices are so low I guess... they are located in the middle of no where.
I think I would be more receptive to them if they got a real webpage. Their facebook reads like stereo instructions. ;)
