Cheapest + Best Way To Re-Create Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike... In A Cabinet?
shodokan123:
i dunno what route to go...
i was thinking using a TV, but then i dunno how i would mount it, what cabinet design to use etc...
I want to use Sanwa buttons and either sanwa or seimitsu sticks.
I have ~ 900$ to do the project with.
Should i go with a mameroom kit and just some how mount a shelf put a TV in and build my own CP?
Or go for an arcade monitor or what?
help me out here lol, i want the cheapest and most effective way to re-create the 100% arcade feel.
I will even go so far as to get japanese versions of the game to play.

i'm 17 with a limited budget... if i could i'd just spend 2 grand on the cab but i cant... i would get a japanaese cps3 version A board and a VS city cabinet... but thats not possbible due to the fact that working japanese 3s cost about a grand on their own.
CheffoJeffo:
My point was that "Cheapest + Best" doesn't let us know what is important to YOU, so we can't strike an appropriate balance.
Having said that ...
My knowledge of fighters is extremely limited, but I bought a fully-functional big blue Capcom cab with beautiful monitor for C$300 (and that was overpaying). Sell the PCB and recoup some of that.
From there, you can add a MAME machine with ArcadeVGA and JPac and come in under $900 fairly easily.
At that point, it comes down to replacing the CP, sticks and buttons. If cash is low, then you can cut back with cheaper alternatives to the ArcadeVGA and JPac.
Cheers.

well i'm going to use consoles
what it is required to have is
Official marquee
Good artwork for CP
Coin Door
Moniter bezel
Black cabinet will work fine
Speakers... nothing too fancy
Backlight for the marquee
TV 25-27"
Sanwa Sticks
Sanwa buttons
Basically a barebones arcade machine....
