Wow!!!
I want to thank everyone (Ray, Prophet, dcpmark, Ray, Chad, JP4, Chris, and especially Andy Desak no longer supplier to Arcade 2000 and Jeff of A2K) for so quickly sending me so much info! Usually when I post to a message board the response isn't nearly this fast or well informed. PLEASE! If you have a success story or horror story (and are not listed in REVIEWS, ALTERNATIVES, or LINKS to the left), keep it up!
I did want to add one extra wrinkle to the issue of buying a cabinet. Besides running MAME or PC games, I have a bunch of consoles and in particular a Playstation. I want to get a cabinet that can support PC AND at least Playstation (and possibly a couple other consoles--I know big dream!) I may even want to network the cabinet with another PC or Playstation via a combat cable.
Furthermore I am a multiplayer game player, networking the PC or hooking it up to the internet isn't a biggie, but if I do manage to get a cabinet that is PC and Playstation I'm trying to figure out where and how to put an extra set of Playstation controls (and a light gun, and a driving module, ....)
I'd love to hear feedback on whether purchasing such a beast, purchasing and rewiring/customizing, or building from scratch is preferable.
I have a business trip that may make checking the board a bit difficult, but I will read and respond to all posts ASAP.
Thank you!
