: I'm on the verge of possibly buying a Japanese sitdown cab from ArcadeStuff of Ebay fame. TomA had one, and some others here I think. Looking at a NeoGeo Candy 29" model.

: Before I do this, does anyone have any advice? Any reasons why I should NOT buy such a cab? Any reasons why it's a good idea?

: My intent is to ultimately use it as a combination JAMMA and emulation cabinet. Not sure exactly how yet, but in the future I would replace the monitor with a D9200 so it would have total versatility, and maybe add a spinner (or trakball if it can be done without looking ugly). I would get a 29" model, so the D9200 should fit inside. Any thoughts?

: And yes, I'm still alive. :P In fact, if I hear any interesting news I will still post for Saint. Sorry I missed the Advance MAME 37b14 news, next time I'll get it out here.

Hi Prophet :)

I would not recomend it. Monitor seems way too close to eyes... panel isnt very deep (making modifications very tough) Those dont look like happ sticks... also, I think Ive seen some negative feedback from that one...cant remember.

If you have tools... wood is pretty cheap. Else, Id get a regular 25" cabnet (like an MK or something).

Nice ot see ya round :)

Sincerely,
Xiaou2
