Kinda hard to see from the picture but it looks like it might be a Die  Hard cabinet.  Am I correct?  $275 for a working 25" machine sounds about right to me.

I paid $250 for my cab at auction...

There are people who will probably tell you that you could have gotten the cab cheaper somewhere but what's really important is that YOU are happy with your purchase.  It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

Good luck and welcome to the hobby.

I got a Steel Talons which included 2 working 25" monitors for like $150 and I've paid $1,000 for a game with a 19" monitor (with burn in), so really it's up to you if you want to know how good the deal is.  I've seen people get free games on the boards....

Personally, I think it's a fair deal, you can't beat having thousands of arcade games in one machine for $250, right?

thanks krick and xtrasmiley, I guess not been around the horn on this thing yet it reassuring that it doesn't look like a major screwed up.  I have looked through other sites and the prices were considerably higher for even the most basic setup.  Being that I am new to this hobby I wanted something to get started in then I can make improvements to it or what I hope to do someday is build something of my own design.  The gentleman selling the item did not know what it was before.  But for the money what the heck
