Just acquired a neo-geo MVS-2-25
majs:
Just got back from the trip to get the pit-fighter cab. It's in good condition. ;D The monitor seem to be in ok shape (a wells gardner 25"). It's the original cab and yes the control panel area is big enought to do some customizing.
I opened up the back part of the cab and I think I'm just going to use an arcadevga card and hook it up directly to the monitor and just use the ipac4 I have with it for inputs. I know it's a little overkill for a 2 player (for now) cab but I'm thinking of making some DDR pads for this as well.
I figured I'm not really going to need a jpac. If I get one it'll only be used for the monitor connection.
Anyway, thanks for the feedbacks.

The Pit-Fighter cab should be awesome for MAME. It's almost identical to my Primal Rage cabinet (which I use for JAMMA games). It's got a good-sized monitor and you should have plenty of real estate on the control panel to either add a trackball and spinner or just keep it as a 3-player setup. I was seriously thinking about "converting" my 2-player CP to a larger Pit-Fighter-type one for MAME. If it's anything like my cab, it weighs a ton and stairs are a nightmare, but I'm sure you know that already ;D
Congrats on the good finds, I envy your MVS. It's one of the things I still want to pick up.
