That should be a crime when it would have been easier to leave everything but the PCB inside and do a harmless pc<->jamma conversion.

I ended up doing that... but I have all the parts (and can still play captain america on the floor).

that was before jpac (or I would have done things very differently)

and before I found out there are ways to get a jpac to work with windows (since thats required for my frontend).

btw, if I could do it again, I would have built my own.

Mainly because of shipping, but it ended up costing me 400 bucks for a old wooden box

Bah, would have tossed the monitor and put in something hi-res first of all.  Original monitors require DOS.  DOS is ancient and evil.  I vowed I shall never run DOS again when I first started up Windows 95 on partition 1 and Linux on partition 2 many moons ago.

Then perhaps a J-Pac for the controls existing, and an I-Pac for some additional buttons.  

But that's just me.
