I still think somebody would make a killing selling wooden candy cabs in the US. |

Been working on some more new designs (including a candy-style) as I think it's time we extended our 2-player range to accommodate a few more tastes. The thing I find ironic about this thread is that usually I'm battered by the purists when I defend LCD monitors, yet it seems most couldn't care less here as this modern design has won them over. Personally I've never cared much for any of those candy-style cabinets as they don't look or feel like anauthentic arcade machine, though I can respect the play position, the clean finish and the weight/size saved with their design. |

well...with the candy cabs....none of the cabs are really considered "dedicated" cabs. They are mass produced cabs that you can slap almost any game in. A cheaper alternative to paying for a full sized dedicated cabinet for every game. Buy 10 cheapo cabs....slap some games in....done. Not all candy cabs are LCD either. The Sega Lindberg and the Taito Vewlix are the ones I can think of off the top of my head that are.. |

It is the OEM hardware for the game we want to play on it, or represents the best possible equipment for playing a game. I want a Vewlix for the following games. SFIV Street Fighter HD Soul Calibur IV Tekken 6 Virtua Fighter 5 all of which were designed with HD LCD monitors in mind. That's not to say that I wouldn't want to play SFIV or any of those other games on a Sony 34" XBR HD CRT inside some sort of custom built widescreen lowboy rig. :notworthy: Wonder how hard it would be to decase one of these: |

Build a pedestal for it. That's what I'm going to do with my Monivision, and remove the name tags. Specs: http://www.tronlink.com/dm5952sf.htm |
