I found my cab! My mame conversion starts soon :-)
danp:
Well the guy with the Landing gear cab flaked on me, but I was able to deal a trade that brought me a Golden Tee cab. I think this is going to work well, especially since the control panel sticks out so far. Here is a picture of what I'll be converting. My first step is mounting a monitor into the spot, other than just running a board across for the monitor to sit on--any ideas?
paigeoliver:
See the wood that crosses the back, behind the monitor bezel, that is what holds the monitor in, if you use the correct size. If you use the wrong size just mount your tube to wood installed in that same slot.
danp:
I just purchased the computer/monitor I'll be using for this machine, it should be set for a while. Here are the specs:
24 inch widescreen LCD monitor
1.80 GHZ
3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs
ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 128MB
250 GB Harddrive
Integrated Soundblaster
paigeoliver:
The computer is overkill, I use sub-ghz machines in every machine I do, only the hard drive games require anything more than that. So it should "do" forever. Also in general there is no reason to ever update anything software-wise once you have your cabinet up and running.
I do have to ask why widescreen (wrong aspect ratio for everything) and why LCD (which aren't the hottest monitors for gaming and don't tend to have the best range of possible viewing angles). At least it will be easy to mount.

I went widescreen because there was a nice packaged deal to get it together with the Dell. As far as it being overkill, I'll be able to use this computer to play any games I'd like. There will be plenty of PC games, arcade games, etc that will run perfectly on this machine.
