Yeah, my collection is growing...  much to the wife's despair... lol. 

Is that an Initial D I see?  Nice!  I wish I could get my hands on at least one more candy cab.  I'd love to have a dedicated vertical machine.   :cheers:

Franco B:

Yeah it's an Initial D, It's been consolised to play 360 though so I mainly use it for that.

Having a dedicated vert cab (or two  ;D ) is handy. There was always a game I wanted to play in the other orientation and they can be a bit of a pain to rotate so I bought a second.

Then I found that there was always something I wanted to play in another resolution (15/31k) as well as the other orientation so I bought another tri-sync to cover all bases. I kept the NAC as the PFX in my Naomi doesn't like Taito F3 games.

What is it with some of you guys and Japan-style cabs? They look a little hard to assemble, being what looks like plastic and all.

drventure:

Yeah, they aren't my favorite style of cab either, but then, I grew up with arcades full of the traditional, refrigerator box style black cabs from the early 80's so that's what says "arcade" to me. The viewlix (I think that's what that style is called), not as much.

Still, there's some fantastic collections of cabs here!

Actually, they are very easy to assemble/disassemble. In fact, they're more cleverly built than woodie cabinets.
Here's a picture of my New Astro City, disassembled for cleaning:

See how it splits down the middle? I just takes some unscrewing and they split apart easily.
Try disassembling a woodie, it's near impossible.

These sit down cabinets are an absolute pleasure to play on, I'm talking about the most comfortable prolonged gaming experience. Personally, as I get older, my back and legs tend to ache after hours of play on my woodie stand-ups.  You could say, why not just by stools?  Well, then I'd have extra chairs that would only be used for these cabinets, when I could just use a regular chair.  These candy's give you the ability to prolong your gaming without the wear and tear on your body from standing around for hours. They're also really easy to switch boards in and out, again, attributed to the clever manufacturing and ease-of-access to each panel. Plus they look slick, like a spaceship!

For me, I grew up with woodie cabinets primarily, candy cabinets didn't start showing up around here till the 90's. But being on the west-coast we were privy to a lot of Asian imports, so they popped up everywhere. The first time I played on one, I knew right away that I loved them.
I'm actually planning on getting a second candy cabinet, they're just so awesome to play on. Especially when you want to seriously concentrate on a game.
