Wow... that's the coolest cab!! Does that play MAME games or was it made for arcade games? Easy to convert to MAME??

AlmtyBob:
I've seen those cabs in LA before, and they are VERY sweet.  Is there room in there for a full size PC case?

It's a standard Jamma Cab so yeah it plays Mame or any Jamma Arcade PCB's.  As for converting it to Mame, I have it connected for controls via a J-Pac and the Video through a Broadcast quality scan converter so I get crystal clear Windows operation on the screen.  Well @ 640x480 anyways.  800x600 is okay, but 1024x768 is not very legible.  Yet since anything I would be running such as emulation or most any other game runs fine @ 640x480 that is great.  

Even games such as Quake III etc... if you run them @640x480  on an arcade monitor @ 15khz it doesn't have all the pixles a computer monitor has so everything bleeds together... smoothing everything out, making it look great.  DVD's run beautifully.  And even surfing the web from across the room on a couch is not so shabby, but not up close, unless you want your eyes to bleed from the size.

AlmtyBob:

Yeah, you actually see a few of these here and there in the arcades in the US.  Sega actually imported these here towards the end of production as far as I have heard.  If you are lucky you can even pick one of these off at auction I think.  But not too cheap as these go early and people bid higher then.

As for room inside, I will take more pictures as I have time to start really working on the cabinet to liven it up.  You would be surprised at the size of this think on how little space there is for anything else.  The main boards and electronics inside for the projection tubes, Mirror, etc. take up a lot of room.  There is enough room if I wanted to put a PC inside without a case and mounted on a board or whatever, but I will have to see what I decide later since I have it hooked to a Surround cabinet now anyways for Karaoke, I might as well just get a nice Black desktop Case to put in a side cabinet.  Beats me.  Will be more on the web page shortly.

Thanks for the interest, hope this helped.

WOW man, that thing is BAD ASS!!!  I see you live in the Tampa Bay area, you want to sell that to anyone if local and how much?

Now we're just bragging a bit about our cabs...  ;)

Seriously though, I didn't know that it did 31KHz - you should be thinking about using a Dreamcast w/VGA adapter or an X-Box with that bad girl  - I'm sure it would rock big time...

And hurry up with Jeff's site, it hardly looks like you're updating it.  ;P
