I think this cab made it to my top five...maybe first it's hard to tell...
Thank you for documenting this so well though - you've saved me a lot of time finding some of my parts!

I will make a sort of final review of my build with specs and measurements and total cost.
And maybe some pro pictures. these are taking with a crappy camera in bad lighting.

Is this still in the works? I am late to the party but this is the exact direction I am going with my third cab. Absolutely beautiful.

Happy Easter Everybody !

Sweet cab man, I love the theme as the SF games have always been my primary arcade-love. And that's almost exactly how I'd do it (artistically), I can't do all the fancy wiring/mounting stuff for one simple reason. I'm in the military, and I'm looking at at least 6-7 moves before I retire. So I need to be able to remove the components for that, and have access to fix moving damage.....but, point is, sweet cab and the only thing I would change artistically would be to maybe use more than just Ryu and Chun-LI for the side art/marquee. I might do Fei-Long and Cammy on one side, so I had an "original" side and a "new-challengers" side and use Gouken and Akuma for the Marquee. Get a Good vs Evil theme plus be able to include Gouken, 'cause I've been waiting for him to be playable FOREVER.....If you ever want to sell that bad larry for like, $20, let me know......

Thanks

When are you tossing a 360 in here to play some sf4? I'm sure your able to hack a controller or two to play some stuff on this.

Why hack a 360? In a month he can just install it on the PC......that's what I'm doing......

Gatsu · « **Reply #209 on:** May 06, 2009, 11:26:10 am »

SF IV wont be out on PC until around July or so....and theres some other really good fighters that aren't coming to pc that make it worth-while to put a 360 in the cab.

Im gonna be putting one in mine so I can play Soul Calibur, DOA 2, 3 & 4, BlazBlue, Tekken 6, SSF2Turbo HD and KOFXII.

This is a very nice build and I commend you for taking your time, paying close attension to detail. I can only hope that my setup turns out half this nice when its done.

Don't forget to but some lights on top of that CoolMaster for low flying aircraft, CRIPES! ...and I thought my Zalman was BIG!

That's tiny compared to the Scythe Orochi ;-)

dkssprs · « **Reply #212 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:42:57 am »

Your cab is the best looking cab i have ever seen

Many gratz to you my friend.I wish in my living room i will have a cab like yours.

Twin-X · « **Reply #213 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:20:26 am »

BASS! · « **Reply #216 on:** May 07, 2009, 07:31:38 pm »

I love selling mine, then someone gets to enjoy it, and you get the money to dump into even more good stuff.

dkssprs · « **Reply #217 on:** May 08, 2009, 12:14:19 pm »

I cant even think about selling my project..

Its my first project and there is no way selling it.
If someone want's my bartop i will build a new one ...
I am looking all the images in these project and i cant believe how clean it is....no matter how many times i look at the pics.
Surely i eill build something like that.

BTW 3000Euro..... i think it is a very good price

This is just a great looking cabinet. Thank you again for the inspiration.

pics are down for a week

Pictures are back up

Ok my cab is ready for pc version of street fighter IV

De demo benchmark works great. configured keyboard and everything

i upgraded only the videocard to a Ati Radeon 4670 passive videocard

all the old mame games still work great with soft15khz

i got streetfighter IV running in 800x600 8x AA and get 55fps average

I start the game through the frontend i use ( http://www.maximusarcade.com/ )

heres an video

phantompower · « **Reply #225 on:** July 07, 2009, 04:14:50 pm »

Very nice. I did the same with some batch files and Maximus. I used a scripting program to bypass the Loader which the final version.

I do love how the game looks and plays. Configuring the iPac was a pain since the game relies on the XBox controls in the menu system, regardless of how the virtual joysticks are configured.

n88n · « **Reply #226 on:** August 25, 2009, 10:12:17 am »

Martijn,

Like many who have already posted this is basically the exact type of cab that I would like to build. Street Fighter is the ultimate and I am blown away at your whole setup.

I noticed that you are using a TV instead of an arcade monitor. How do you like the tv? I thought one of my biggest expenses would be a new arcade monitor but maybe I do not need one. I have a 27" tv that I do not use right now and it would be so much easier to start my project if I could use my tv.

Have you upgraded the tv to an arcade monitor? Or is it still the TV shown in the beginning of your post?

great work bro, very inspirational.

Nate

Martijn · « **Reply #227 on:** August 27, 2009, 01:56:59 am »

hi there,

i still use the same 25 inch sony tv and its great. all old resolutions work great
for 640x 480 or 800 x 600 resolutions the screen starts to flicker a bit but with the special darkned plexi i got
The screen gets a steady look at those resolutions, without it its bad at high res. I posted it somewhere the kind of plexi i used.

i see no need for an upgrade

thnx for your compliment

MaMeNnO · « **Reply #228 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:32:15 am »

Great cab, excellent finish! I'm planning on building a lowboy, but thanks for the inspiration. Bedankt!

Hi, I'm using the same Ati X800XL you've used and it works very well with soft15KHz and 6.5 catalyst drivers.
Now I'm thinking to make an upgrade like yours to use SFIV. With your new SAPPHIRE TECHNOLOGY Radeon HD 4670 Ultimate Edition can you get ALL resolutions working like the old x800xl? Also lower ones?

Thanks

mikejkelley · « **Reply #237 on:** October 19, 2009, 01:39:11 pm »

Hey n88n and anyone else thinking of using a TV, keep in mind that older CRT TV sets and arcade monitors carry a LETHAL charge even after they've been unplugged (in some instances for YEARS). Your first project should not involve de-casing a TV unless you know how to safely discharge it!

I would definately like to see some measurements if you have the time Martijn, as this is the cab design I would like to build eventually. Thanks.

Hi, glad you like it.

But i already sold my cab like 2 monts ago
