If no one gets in a bidding war with you, then it is going to be a cheap and easy spinner cabinet. The boardset alone might resell for more than you paid for the cabinet (assuming you don't repair it). Those B&W monitors sell quite easily too.

Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I'm not sure what I would do with it.  It's pretty snazzy.  There are a few games I'm watching on eBay right now.  If I get them all (which I doubt) I'm going to need a storage area.  I'm out of room here @ the apartment.

Looks like a good mameable cab. Or with all those balloons on the cab you could make a king and balloon.
Curls in the squat rack !?!?!

I'm not sure I would MAME this.  I think I would try to fix it first.  I played it last night, it's pretty fun.

That's a very nice opinion.

It's a moot point, really.  I just emailed the guy, and the cabinet is 170 miles away.  Not far, really, but it would irk the wife a bit for me to go away for another day for another 'coffin.'

That's a shame. It's a neat looking cab.

The guy emailed back and said he would meet me in Albany with the cabinet for $20 in gas money.  Not a bad deal!  But I would still have to find a place to put it.  I've got three cabs in my two bedroom now, and I'm working on getting two of them out the door.
