Making a supergun from a cab

[D]

Any foreseeable problems?
You see I can buy a Raiden II cab for 200 EURO.
But, I'm tall.
So I'm thinking tear the cab down, built a supergun.
sell Raiden 2, buy Raiden Fighters.

Does this make any sense?

Superguns are expensive as hell. Why then?

I figure I can built my own from a cab!

Extra stuff in the end would be--- nice monitor and wooden cabinet.

Stuff aquired would be---- Raiden PCB, speakers, power supply, JAMMA harness and controls.

Stuff needed would be-----just a way to get the video signal to a TV.
Perhaps consolise the arcade monitor? Use SCART or whatever (I'm from the US so I never paid attention to the details on SCART- I think it's the same as arcade, right? R,G,B, Sync, and ground?

They're just expensive because
1. someone's got to make them from scratch
2. all the parts cost more money non-salvaged.... Controls, power supply, and usually 30 to 200 dollar part that converts RGB to a TV signal.

As D lives in Europe, he won't need that RGB converter or a special monitor (although one is nice to have). Buying and gutting a cab would seem like a bit of an expensive and horrible job to be honest. A cheap plastic electronics box, a power supply, some controls and a Jamma loom is going to cost a whole lot less than 200 euros - in fact you can buy ready made superguns for less.

If you do go down that road though D, I'd buy the Raiden 2 board if it was fairly priced.
