couldn't you bring the cab home, disassemble it outside until it fits and reassemble inside?

$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).
