That makes me cry.

Mr. Greenjeans:
I viewed his other auctions

"hotroded with a Pentium 4 IBM with Windows XP, and a brand new 19" Hewlett Packard HD flat screen monitor. This is literally the best cab that money can buy. But shop around, I brought this baby in cheap. I'm quite proud of the price point I've achieved. A STEAL! (why does this WWF machine have a nicer computer than I do?"

Because you are a ass!!!  ....................WTF .............. the worst part is people actually pay this :tool: $   :dunno

WTF?

shardian:
I've seen worse abominations than that.

I love this final paragraph in his listing:

--- Quote ---A few rules of thumb on these machines.  1.  Lightning backgrounds, granite shelf paper, unicorns, monochrome paint, all great for the mid 1990's.  2.  Preferably smaller than a guest bedroom and the control panel smaller than a kitchen table.  3.  Don't settle for Billy's abandoned MAME project with the one joystick and 59 buttons that looks like an IKEA exploded.  It takes a long time to iron out all the wrinkles in this bussiness.  Arcadehollywood has been at this for years.  We've sold cabinets all over the world and we always wildly exceed expectations.  4.  Please do not buy a cabinet with a TV for a monitor, they look terrible.  Games look better than they did in the day on the HD flat screen monitor.  It is remarkable.  5.  Don't settle for some plastic fantastic new MAME beast that you have to assemble. Our cabs ship solid state. And who wants one of those soul-less new beasts and their sweaty looking formica. This is a real cab played by real people; young couples on their first date, homesick G.I.s, businessmen popping into the arcade at lunch. SOUL. Turn your house into an instant party destination. 5'8" tall with a 26 1/2" W x 34" deep.  About 200 lbs. Oh, and we provide free customer service on these masterpieces for life.

For some reason he left of the rule about maming classic, unique cabinets.  :dunno

Anubis_au:
The funny / saddest thing is, the sideart for one of the other cabs, which is a mish-mash of characters from classic games, looks like vector graphics taken from the website (forget its name) which is the depot to all these graphics.

So, these people, not only are the modding classic cabs, they are profiting with the help of the fine people in these types of forums.
