I've got something sitting in my garage that will work great, but its a working machine (monitor and all) so it will be more than $50.

Its the generic Tatio cab from the early 80's. I've built 4 machines using this cab, I've got it sitting around for a future project but I just got a sit down cab so this is taking up space.

I'm located in Oswego, 1 hour from the city with moderate traffic.

Its really nice. (25 inch EGA Arcade Monitor - P4 1.7 Ghz with 30 gig drive running advmame and advmenu) Really nice sideart and bezel I made for it. Im located in Napeville, IL.
I also have a 33 inch cab also. I can post pics to you.

Born and raised in Harvard, Illinois - most of my family still lives in Capron and Loves Park.

P.S. I have an empty Tempest cab in my garage waiting on restoration (or conversion) -- whatever. But I guess Jacksonville, FL is a bit too far for you to go. :P
