Cheapest + Best Way To Re-Create Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike... In A Cabinet?
Witchboard:
The cheapest way to get 3rd Strike in a cabinet without buying the CPSIII system would be hacking a Dreamcast. Use the search function on the board since there are several mods you can do for the Dreamcast.
There are a couple of guys I think that do Dreamcast joypad hacking and there's a mod where I think you can output to VGA.
clanggedin:
You can do it under $500 easily if you use either a dreamcast or ps2 and you use a TV or find someone to sell you a cab with a 25" monitor already installed.
TravistyOJ:
Use eBay or go to an arcade auction to find a decent JAMMA cab- $100-$300
hack a dreamcast - free-$70 depending on what you have lying around
order new sanwa joysticks and buttons - excellentcom.net has sticks for $11 and buttons for $1.10 each, you wont beat that price anywhere, but shipping will be a little more (from Hong Kong) and the sometimes have limited color selection.

DC is not an option... i won't settle for that BS
and i still ahve to pay shipping on that cab from ebay so it will end up costing ~ 600 anyway... also there is the fact that i can't fit it through my door.
I need it in parts cause i wanna put it in my room some how.

Nice 'tude.
As to have a SF3 cab... Well, your stuck with either the arcade guts of a true SF3, or the DC. CPS3 has not been emulated.
