Title: Anyone in Ontario Canada sell pre made cabs?
Post by: Demon-Seed on January 10, 2008, 09:47:23 am: Hey
I am thinking of getting a new cabinet for mame however dont have all that much time to build it. I was considering getting one made...basically i want it to have installed monitor and be ready to plug into a computer...... just wondering if anyone in my area makes em and the cost?
I am near Hamilton, ONT.I am thinking its likely much cheaper for me to make one again.

Yea I have built a few in the past so its not an issue... I just thought it would be easier to buy one made...however like you said its tough to get a fair price matching the specs I am after.

thx

There are often some that size at the auction. Usually converted to JAMMA. All you'd need is a JPAC and video card that outputs 15khz for your PC

My first time going, it'll be interesting, viewing starts at 9:30 am and the bidding starts at 11:30 am. I was told from a person that works there (Forgot his name), he said you could probably find a stripped cabinet for 25 dollars. Anyway, you need a $200 deposit to bid, have cash ready.

And, once again, the rumours are flying that this may be the last auction for quite a while ... but that one has been cropping up a lot lately.
