I'm testing the waters, here. I've got some consulting money coming in (not much.. just for a small static website I did for a friend..) and am looking for my next project cabinet.. Here's what I ALREADY HAVE:
Extra Dreamcast
Games
Hacked pads from HarumaN (AWESOME!)
Light Guns
2 P360 joysticks
Competition Pushbuttons
EYGO 27" VGA monitor
The monitor doesn't work, currently, but I'm PRETTY sure I can get it repaired..
Anyways, I've got ALMOST everything. Just need a cab to put it all in. My _dream cabinet_ would be a gutted NeoGeo 4-slot cab (3rd cabinet pictured here (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=N&game_id=8846)). It's 'cool', has a very 'upright' slant to the monitor (for lightgun games), and is EXACTLY the theme I want (looking to make it NeoGeo-ish but withe SEGA graphics rather than SNK.. Using CD instruction booklets for the marquee slots, etc..). You know, a 'tasteful' conversion...
I had a line on one, at one point, in Cinci, but didn't have the cash at the time.. I'm trying to do this 'on the cheap', since I've got a lot into my MAME cab, currently.
Anyone have anything interesting? Mostly looking for a 'cool' cab that has a fairly upright monitor and can fit the 27" EYGO. But I don't want to get strung up for gutting a 'working' cab.. Looking for a shell.
There's an auction coming up in April, but things seem to go high.. And I don't want to settle for the 'junk' (possibly) that'll go low.. So...
Will also need, eventually, a VGA adapter.. Not sure which one I want, yet.. See them on eBay a lot.. Any suggestions?
Thanx for looking!
