Title: Here is my new SEGA Virtua figter II machine.
Post by: Coffein on February 07, 2003, 06:15:41 pm
Here is my cab http://home1.stofanet.dk/coffein/virtuaII.jpg  my plan is to mame it sometimes, but for now my son and me have to play VFII again and again :)

I bought this for 230$ in perfect shape, everything is working and all the user manuals is also with the machine.

Just want to share my happyness :)

If anyone in Denmark need a cab, i can help you out.

That's very cool! Way better than the Alien vs Predator cab I picked up recently. What I ended up doing is building a copy of it, but a few inches wider for more shoulder room. I just did not have the heart to cut it up and MAME it... so I built a clone! :)

If you have a friend with some decent tools, I suggest the same thing... the wood to build one of these things is reasonably cheap, and it really is darn easy to do it. :)

You could've done the pc2jamma hack or used the j-pac and have it both ways.

Sure I could have... but that wouldn't have been nearly as fun. I really enjoyed building the cabinet, goofups aside. :)

Wow, judging from the pic you must be one of the youngest members on this forum! ;)

Yeah but it's not really ready to be shown off yet. It's really just the outer shell. But, all the hard work's done. Next is just painting and buying computer parts and a TV.

It's not expertly constructed because I'm not an expert. And, for some reason, I wanted to make it as much like my exisisting cabinet as possible. :)
