Attax Cab + Xbox = joy?
« on: November 14, 2008, 06:59:42 pm »
I just got a (free) Attax cabinet, and I'm going to stick a modded xbox into it.  I've got a few questions:

Should I replace the original monitor? 

If so what's going to give me the best picture a 19" tv or a pc monitor?  If a pc monitor what's the best way to hook the xbox to it?  I have tried xbox to LCD and it looks like complete trash so that's why I'm alittle concerned.

The original sound I believe is mono, how can I got from the RCA jacks on the xbox to the arcade speakers?  or should I replace them?

I want two controller ports sticking out the front of the cabinet so I can connect controllers or wheels or whatever.  I'm planning to buy some extension cables but I need some advice on making some nice facia or holder or something for them. 

I feel like these questions have been answered here, but I am not seeing it specifically for an xbox. 

Thanks!

Should I replace the original monitor?  .......a tv would display better and hook up more easier

If so what's going to give me the best picture a 19" tv or a pc monitor?  If a pc monitor what's the best way to hook the xbox to it?.......they do make an xbox vga cord adapter I believe but dont know the display results however I know the 360 looks amazing on them though.

The original sound I believe is mono, how can I got from the RCA jacks on the xbox to the arcade speakers?.... I use a radio shack rca to mini-jack adapter with pc speakers for the 360 but for the cab I use a real surround sound reciever wired to the arcade cab speakers and other surround speakers and the rca's plug into the reciever.

I want two controller ports sticking out the front of the cabinet so I can connect controllers or wheels or whatever.  I'm planning to buy some extension cables but I need some advice on making some nice facia or holder or something for them.....you could make two button sized holes under the bottom CP board where they are not seen usually or perhaps chop your xbox face plate off and go from there  >:D
