Alpha Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Looks absolutely fantastic! You're definitely a wonderful craftsman. I can't believe you made the MK3 cabinet from scratch. Were you unable to find an MK3 cabinet off eBay or you really wanted to make it by hand? Anyway, keep up the great work.

Were you unable to find an MK3 cabinet off eBay or you really wanted to make it by hand? Anyway, keep up the great work. Thanks for the kind words. My main problem at the time was, yes there were Midway cabs on Ebay, but I was living in Hawaii and shipping for the cab would be around $1000. So I figured that it would be cheaper to just build my own. It turned out to be cheaper just building the cab than buying one and having it shipped, but after buying all the new parts (i.e. new monitor, computer, RGB video card, wiring, buttons, joysticks, etc.), I was sitting at around $3000. It ended up being cheaper just building my own.
Fatal Rose Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Wow man that was amazing... Some day I want a classic Virtua Fighter cabinet with VF1and2 for the PC on it, and of course 10 thousand more games too.
