Help identifying an awesome sounding machine.

A guy I work with has a friend with too much money.  He bought a machine that was described to me by a non-mamimg geek type like this:

It was a Neo Geo cabinet, profesional looking. {edit: The guts were neo geo  The cabinet may or may not have been.)
30" LCD (!!) screen, and no not Plasma, LCD.  {edit: It was angled back}
Plays XBOX Games, and the look extremely hi-res, almost HD.
Had a trackball

I am intruigued. My first guess is that it is a hacked import cabinet.

Anyone seen such a beast before?  What about without XBOX?  30" LCDs are very rare from what I hear.

I saw a similar thing on MTV cribs once (seriously). So it does exist, but the guy who had it said there were only a few of them. It looked like it was a legit item the microsoft had used at E3 or something.

There are plent 30" TV's available. Every self respecting TV-brand has one. I think these are usually HDTV's so that might explain the high res. Dunno if Xbox can do High Res on HDTV though.

Anyway, it sure sounds like a pretty cool cab. I'd assume the rest of the specs are beefed up too.

Yea, I actually have one of the hi-def packs. It's kinda lame because even the games that do support it aren't programmed appropriately to take advantage of it.
