WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS CAB!!> IDEAS PLEEZE

The reason I could not turn it down was; one, a real big monitor..and two, a coin door. It's also got the full Jamma harness. All of that comes to a lot more than the 200 bucks I paid. The control panel is held in with 4-5 bolts across the top and a few along the bottom. Totally removable. The Chair is adjustable like a car seat. I'm going to have to make a lot of space in the old garage to store it though. I am going to get a Cheep LCD that I can mount on the side for windows and just switch to the monitor to play...I just got to figure it out ;D
I am still planning my main MAME CAB...Its been in the works for a LOONG time...but it will be a standard upright with a spinner and a trackball....

if your looking to turn a profit i'd spend the time to convert it to a Steel Battalion setup. This game is going to be huge and you could seriously make a big profit off of it with that cabinet. You'd have to invest a little bit, xbox and the Steel Battalion setup pictured below which is valued at $200 (USD) but compared to a mame setup it's actually cheaper. The best part is you have a good 2 months to get this thing together and built before the game even comes out, if you catch the game at it's peek then i'm sure you could pull in a very nice return.

looks like you got a good deal but a word of caution about dealing with house of arcades. he ripped me off for some side art. i sold him a simpsons game and everything went ok and when i was at his house i asked him if he had any street fighter II ce side art and he said no. the next day i get an email from him saying that he found a set in his garage and he wanted $35 for it. so i paypal him and a week later i get a tube in the mail and it has two horrible zerox copies of the sideart in black and white with all the corners cut off. i email him and ask what the hell this stuff is and where's my side art.he tells me his partner must have messed up and sent the wrong thing.i later found out he doesn't have a partner. he told me he would paypal me back the $35 and never did as well as never return another email. he has a bad rep. on rgvac as well. dont pay him in advance pay him when you pick it up.

ThanX for the warning....I already paid him though.. I am picking it up this weekend, so I'll see how it goes...Its amazing how small the arcade community really is. Make a mistake and someone will remember you.
