Opinions/Advice Needed - Great offer on a Dynamo but no room!

[Zeitgeist]

I have a bit of a delima & I was hoping that you all could help me out by giving me your opinions.
I just recently acquired a Donkey Kong Cab in pretty poor condition but fully MAMEable - just needs a little glue & bondo.  I then picked up an R-Type cabinet today minus board, marquee & CP.  Everything else is there.  This thing is in great shape except for the right front edge where it looks like someone took a couple of bites out of it.
To top things off, the gentleman that I got the R-Type Cab from (thanks Richard) offered me a sweet deal on a Dynamo cabinet housing a Street Figher 2 CE that is in great shape & copmplete -actually only $50. The board has sound problems & the monitor has a bad flyback at the very least, but everything is there & this thing is solid.

Problem1:  Wife says no more money on my toys (new workshop, cabs & parts, Craftsman tools, PC parts, etc...) untill she gets her additions to the house (utility room & great room).
I think that the $50 is a very negligible amount & I may be able to sweet talk her into the idea, but...

Problem2:  I have no more room to put this huge cab!
In fact I still have one more cab that I already own that I must move into my new workshop (another story) from my old run-down shed & I don't don't know where I will find room for it.

I suppose that I can get rid of the Donkey Kong or the R-Type to make room for the Dynamo - It would be an excellent candidate for MAMEing except for the tiny control panel.
What would you do?
 - no getting rid of the wife is not an option.
This is one of the very few times that she has given me any lip about my hobby & it's for good reason, but I'd hate to pass up a good deal & later wish I hadn't.
Here are some pics to help.
Thanks

My suggestion? Pass on the deal. It is an OK deal, but not the world's greatest deal. You don't have to buy every cabinet that comes you way. If I took every deal I ran into then I would have no room to even move. The longer you get into this, the more deals will come your way. That SF2 seems like a great deal now (and would be for someone who NEEDED it), but you don't need it, and if you stay into this long enough then you will get deals that make that one look terrible.

Thanks paige; that was another option - in fact I took the pics of the Dynamo with intentions to show one of my co-workers who I thought might be interested.
That's what my wife wants me to do.
She's really pretty good about these things actually.
She bought me a dedicated Xevious for our 1st wedding anniversary (just a few years back).
That's the one that still needs to be moved into my workshop.

So...can you give details out so others might take the cabinet?  Where are you located?

[Stingray]

If it were me I'd hang onto that DK cab regardless of what happens with the others, but then that's one of my all time favorites.

Thanks for the replies Guys.
At this point I think I will be passing the deal on to one of my co-workers.
As much as it tempts me, logic & the Wife's wishes are opposed.
Peale, I'm in southern Louisiana - about as far south as you can go in this state.
Hint: that cab is somewhere up north from here
If my two co-workers who expressed intrest in the cab turn it down, I will be more than happy to pass the deal on to someone here.  
Thanks again
