Also, someone mentioned if it would be really be a cheap cabinet considering the cost of console, monitor, etc....I already have the console and a 27 inch TV that looks stunning. I am also replacing the controls on my main cabinet with new sticks and buttons, so I am using the controls that are coming off the main cab for this project. So in reality, all I have to pay for is the material to build the sucker.
This always amuses me. "Well, I've already got all the parts lying around or will scavenge them from other games, so they're "free" and I'll end up with a cheap cab".
I'd like to say that justifying it that way actually MAKES it "cheap", but you're buying new controls for another project, so you're spending money right, or are those "free" as well? You spent money on the controls. You spent money on the console. You spent money on the TV that goes inside of the cab.
So in ACTUAL reality, you've simply paid for those things already, and still have to shell out money for the rest of what you plan to wrap around that stuff. It's still anything but cheap, unless you ACTUALLY were GIVEN (meaning you haven't at some point shelled out a dime) those items.
And sure, everyone's heard of casters. The problem is that not everyone has their cab in the garage where they can roll it out to their automatic liftgate truck. If you don't have your cab out in the garage, I sure hope you have better luck than 99% of people who are moving things, since even with casters, you'll have to navigate the door threshholds while moving this by yourself, meaning there's a possibility (or more likely, a probability) that you'll be beating a wall or door frame or cab or all eleventy other things as you "roll that sucker up to your F150".
As for playing streetfighter on a cab, I believe there's many who would want to play it while grasping authentic arcade controls - just not a console version, since the odds are that they first came across the game while
in the arcade, not playing it on a console at his buddy's house. There's also a number who WOULD like to play the console version. Just not the 100% majority you're hoping there is.
And....."thought so"?
You're gonna drop that as if there couldn't possibly be questions with your "airtight" defense of your choice but just in case, you'll throw a pseudo-tough-guy retort on there to scare away responses?
Please
<--see how that works?
