Cheapest + Best Way To Re-Create Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike... In A Cabinet?

alright... i am not trying to be an ---sufferer of cranial-rectal-inversion---, although i apparentally did come across that way.

The reason most cabinets will not fit in my house and into my basement is because of the angle in which my basement door is and the inability to get it down there due to the layout of my house and way the doors open in that specific hallway.

Bathroom...wall...door...door
Basement Door...wall...door

The basement and bathroom doors open in opposite directions making it nearly impossible to get it in poistion to do so considering the machine will need to be angled in order to get it down stairs.


Now...

I appreciate the help, but i don't appreciate the hate because I do not like the DC version of 3s due to it's MANY imperfections.  You guys may sware by it because it was the first version but even capcom admits that it is FAR from the arcade version.  For example some things that i know for a fact don't work are ken's b+mk linked to SA3 which is a key part of his game.  Also link timing and amount of frames is quite different from the arcade/ps2 versions which have the correct frame data.

The VGA option would work well for me i think if in fact i do go the arcade monitor route.  So thank you for that idea.

I talked to Rod the owner of himura games and i am well aware that he sells those items i need, but i appreciate the thought :)  I'm pretty sure ponyboy only sells the 24mm and not the 30mm for sanwa buttons but correct me if i am wrong.

I already have the ps2 and DC so there is no expense there.

Again, thx for those who understand what i am going through.  I also understand why you guys are getting frustrated with me, but it's just the way i am, i have OCD as well as ADD... which does not help.


Thx to elvis and to witch for the help.

Why not just remove the doors to get the machine in? Doors are easy enough to take off.

In that case I'd consider buying just an arcade monitor (which you can just rest on a shelf) and custom sticks.  It won't really look the part in terms of the presentation of the setup, but the picture will definitely be superior to a television.  Plus going that route instead of a supergun+PCB would mean you can play all your favourite games on the same setup (3S, Tekken5, CvS2, MvC2, Guilty Gear, etc, etc, etc).

Cabinets can certainly get chunky, and are a pain if stairs are an issue.  My games room is on the ground floor with a nice big double-doors entrance, so cabs coming and going aren't a problem.  Quite frankly the only limitations to how many cabs I can squeeae in is (1) financial and (2) spousal. :)
