: I just bought a fully functional SFIIce cabinet
: on ebay for $380 to use for a MAME conversion. I picked
: this one because of the way the controls are layed out
: and at that price it SEEMED like a good deal. Keep in
: mind here that I am not that good with woodworking
: (horrible in fact) so building my own cabinet is really
: not an option, besides I only have a bare minimum set of
: tools (mostly for working on cars. pretty much no
: woodworking tools except a screwdriver) I do however have
: soldering supplies and experience and shouldn't need to do
: too much work to convert this thing (well, we'll see.)
: So I wanted to get peoples opinions because I'm having a little bit
: of buyers remorse. I spoke with the folks at Hanaho
: about getting the ArcadePC Mini cabinet without the
: monitor or controls and they still wanted $499!! (the sfIIce
: cabinet has the controls laid out the exact same way
: as their control panels i.e 2 Happ joysticks with 6 buttons
: per player.) I'm also feeling a bit weird about gutting
: a perfectly good machine. So, what do ya think? Did I
: get burned/burn myself?
