$900 is plenty for a cab. If you go the tv route:
about $625 for the cab: http://www.mameroom.com/arcadecabinets.asp
use an xbox: $90 to $120
then use a regular tv from home or goto a pawn shop and get a cheap tv Walmart has 20in for under 100
and you should have about 80 or so dollars left. Save that and add it to next weeks allowance :angel: and you should have an x-arcade stick or save another $100 and get the kool slikstik: http://www.slikstik.com/ (best bet) and I think the cab makes control panel ready for both set-ups.
Just my one cent of thought.
You would not have a problem getting this into the basement.
oops almost forgot ebay the game ($20 max): Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (Xbox)

and my "tude" is because the DC version is GARBAGE. 50% of the links dont work, the game is slowed down from the arcade version, parry timing is 1 second difference... all stuff that DRASTICALLY effects competative play.

I stand corrected, didn't think about the PS2/XBox version (mainly, I suppose, cause I'd never waste one of my consoles in a cab, but that's just me). I use my modded XBox for stuff other than just gaming so I guess I didn't consider it...
elvis:
1) Buy a second hand generic JAMMA cab off ebay or wherever. I got a 26" unit for AU$260. In $US you shouldn't have to spend more than $250 to get it to your front door.
2a) (expensive method) Buy an ultimarc console->JAMMA converter and associated parts:
http://ultimarc.com/psx.html
http://ultimarc.com/xba.html
And hook your console of choice up to the cabinet
2b) (cheap method) Hack a SCART cable with an LM1881N circuit to suit a JAMMA monitor using the PC2Jamma guide (follow the Saturn guide for both Playstation and XBox):
http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/
Then hack two cotrol pads to your sticks and buttons. This should cost you less than $30 in parts.
Seriously, if you already have a PS2 and 3S, you shouldn't be looking at more than $300 to get yourself 3S in a cab and working. A bit more if you're lazy or afraid of a soldering iron and want to buy pre-made parts (nothing wrong with that, support folks in the industry where you can).
I already have a dreamcast in a home made cab with VGA monitor (SvC2, MvC2) and I'm in the process of making a generic SCART->JAMMA video converter for all my other consoles to go in a JAMMA cab (PS2 for 3S, all the SNK/Playmore ports, Tekken5, etc; and Tekken3 and Point Blank on my PSX).
Console-in-a-cab is the best way to go for all the post-2D era arcade conversions, especially considering how good arcade to console conversions are these days (as much as I loved SNES SF2, it really was a downgrade on the arcade back in the day).
