The answer is pretty obvious.

Well yeah :)  My question I guess was more of "what do you need with the Hard Drive"  ;D

Like I said, your $4K San F Rush REAL arcade game won't play very well without one (or with one by itself without the other components)

For Sale - 2002 Chevy Corvette, no engine
For Sale - 2003 Chevy 350 L88 crate motor.

Either one by itself is not very useful.

Clearer?

Crystal.

How hard is it to come across the other components?  I have seen kits available for upgrades, but I assume they don't unclude the PCB and such.

Hard to say . . .   the critical one is the PCB?  (E-bay and RGVAC are your friends here, but I think it will be pretty hit or miss).

Other components - would help to talk to someone on usenet with an actual machine.  I would think any arcade monitor and arcade power supply would work.  I think the original wheel was force-feedback, but the machine might or might not work without an exact replacement.  Same for the shifter, etc.

Xynie:

Looks like they have been pretty random over the past few years.  I have seen some old auctions with PIC chips (whatever that is), shifters, and other things.

I think I will just stick to the usual PC and Mame racers, and see how well Chankast is doing in playing 2049.

It would make an interesting paperweight.  ;)

I'll take that Corvette sans engine BTW, if you consider it to be not very useful.  ;D

teef two:

Convert it into the most expensive spinner ever (and diamond encrust for extra bling factor!)  :P
