I'm more interested in the part about converting $40 to $150.

If he wants to do some learning, I think he can.
Old PC with a 15khz capable video card... can be had free.
Keyboard hack... can be had free.
If he sells the other two, keeps and converts Combatribes using the cheapo hardware route, he can get a 25" MAME setup and come out financially ahead.

Is there a list of the 15khz video cards somewhere so I can get a shopping list for ebay?
ChadTower:
I'm not the right guy to ask as I deal almost exclusively in original cabs... but IIRC there are a few older ATI cards that can do 15khz. There are more but I don't know which they are.
