interesting ebay auction

Why would you connect a x-arcade to a ipac?

Why build a nice cabinet and short cut on the control panel?

Somethings make me wonder...

I agree about the x-arcade sticks being mounted to a home built cab.....what the hells the point??? lol. talk about LAZY.   Snaakes right....HELLA UGLY. lol.  At the very least you could order and empty slikstik panel or something and kinda build it yourself.

It didn't sell.

I was thinking it looked like a decent cabinet untill I started looking at the bigger pics. It appears to be pretty rough. It just seemed it would be easier to gut the x-arcade and move all its peices to a new panel than it was to sink it in there like that.
