I have had GH on my cab since it first came out.  I have an older ATI TV Wonder Pro card that has pretty much 0 latency and through that is a PS2.  It's perfect as my cab can be very loud and has a 27" screen.  The monitor is at a perfect level and it get's more play than any other game.

I am using GH3 PC on my cab right now and use Joy2key to use a rock band stratocaster with it. Everything works perfect, whammying, star power activation; its pretty cool and convienent when others are using the main television the 360 is hooked up to. Oh also the reason it has higher requirements is because the PC version is based on the 360 version. Its too bad for cabs with lower end hardware (especially the video card) but I would have been dissapointed if they went the EA route and released the PS2 based version of there games on PC when a 360 based version is perfectly capable of running on PC.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Howard on this one as well... I'm getting a guitar to use on the cab, I have a 33" monitor on it, and standing up with the screen at that height just makes sense... And with GH3, FOF, and Guitar Zero, that's 3 games that I can run on the Cabinet with the guitar. :applaud:

I know, but that's part of my point.  They could have programmed it to be able to tune it from PS2 standards to 360 standards and anywhere in between.  Thats what I was saying about UT2007... it can go from being all shader-work to all texture-work, and noone's  the wiser.

The 360 got it's own version... the PS2 got it's own version.. couldn't the PC get the same respect instead of being tacked with a crappy hog of a port?

From the reviews I've read, it has slow downs even on the Recommended system settings...

Ahh I see the problem in logic here.... I keep hearing "I use A guitar on my cab."  The problem comes with co-op guys.  Two grown men scrunching in front of a puny tv that has wooden partitions on the side blocking your view and a foot deep control panel that makes you stand too far back to see the notes well is the problem.  It'd probably work fine in single player, but that kind of takes the fun away from guitar hero.
