I'm about to put my MGCD on eBay and figured I'd see if anyone here wants it before I have to pay fee's to sell it.
The MGCD for those that dont know is a conversion board set and has modifications that can be set such as requirein token/coin to play a game, set the game up to limit play per credit etc. The MGCD completely JAMMA-izes a dreamcase (controls, video, audio). It's as simple as plugging in the JAMMA harness and setting dipswitches if special modes like the ones listed above are desired.
The MGCD comes in a self contained box with a strap inside of the box for concealing / mounting the dreamcast inside with the MGCD. The dip switches are mounted on the outside of the housing should you wish to turn off a special feature without needing to open up the enclosure.
Here are some pics to give you an idea of what it looks like:

and inside

I will include a dreamcast to go inside it and possibly a game or two (I will have to see what games I want to part with).
Thanks for looking.

the only thing im confused on is how the controls work? So does this board have 2 plugs like DC controllers that go into the DC, and then you plug a jamma harness into this unit and it works?
how much for just the unit, no DC?
-
Yeah it has two DC connectors that plug into the game port.
You can see them in this pic

I see these thing go on ebay without a dreamcast in the $140 range. I'm looking to get $120 + shipping without the dreamcast. $10 more gets the dreamcast.

I was playing Ready to Rumble on my cab last night and got owned by Michael Jackson and that is just plain wrong.

With the number of quality arcade ports and great games available on this system I tend to think of it as a poor mans NAOMI system. ;D

Sale Pending

That's what I get for not checking the board often enough. Let me know if the sale doesn't go through.

S,
Sorry, I didn't even think of asking if you were interested.
It is a done deal.

I noticed that a lot of people were interested in this. Now that the OP has found a buyer, I just wanted to let people know that you can get them at Cosmic Co:
http://home.netvigator.com/~cosmicco
Three problems. One they are in Hong Kong, so figure in a few dollars for shipping. Two, they are in Hong Kong so figure on using Western Union for payment. Finally, you have to email them for a current price list. Having said that, I got my complete Naomi kit from them in approximately three days after they sent it. They are also very quick to reply to emails (just remember the time difference). All together, the cost should probably be about the same as what the OP wanted.

4th problem. Your link doesn't work. ;D
-
Not to be argumentitive, but the link works fine (I always double check before posting), it just seems that the site was temporarily down. ;)
Looks like it is back up now, but just in case, here is their email address:
cosmicco@netvigator.com

They also make similar devices for xbox, ps2, and game cube.
You can buy proprietary steering wheels and light guns for the MGCD's for the systems. Play House of the Dead 3 with two guns on your arcade monitor.
If you send them email, they reply pretty quickly with price quotes including shipping.
Here's a quote they sent me for the xbox ver with 2 guns
MGCD (D) covt + 2 guns for Xbox HOD3 US$210 (shipped)
