    Quoted from northvibe:

    I don't know why people get the old ones, with old cpu, monitors etc. Seems weird to me. I'd maybe reuse an old cab but put a lcd and new pc, run Hyper-spin and play all mame, plus consoles etc. But.... that's just me.

    I went that route too, but I can absolutely see why someone would get the old ones. Doing up a nice custom one takes a lot of time, there can be some technical issues, and isn't particularly cheap. When compared to putting a 48-in-1 in an empty cab it's more appealing if you just want it done quickly and cheaply.

    You can enable HLSL in MAME and make the graphics look very arcade accurate if that's your thing. It's the best thing to happen to MAME since they emulated Ghouls n Ghosts All you'll be missing is the eye strain that comes with CRTs

    Quoted from Nexyss:

    I have a new cabinet back from the cabinet guy I hired, but I am still waiting on a bunch of panels to be finished. I built the cp in this pic years ago, but have sold all of my woodworking tools since. The new cabinet will be a pedestal in front of these two monitors. This TV set up seems perfect for me so far. It is a 47" LED Lit, so there is plenty of room for bezel art around the game screen in mame. I really need to get this project done. lol

    What is the model of that marquee LCD? I must have it!

    On the upside it probably tasted like jam
