Best idea would be to wait for a group cab order at www.arcadeotaku.com, or if someone else is doing one, and jump on that.

Or maybe ebay if you're lucky. depends if you want a woodie or a candy cab really.

If you want a wood cabinet, you could always try going to an auction (www.superauctions.com). If you're lucky, you can get a fully working game for under $100, or one missing a monitor for really cheap (I picked one up last sunday for $5)

As for candy cabinets, I'm still looking myself. Good luck :)

Ahaha, whoops. Forgive my ethnocentrism.

Thanks.

I was thinking of buying a supergun but then thought that I'd prefer a cab. I checked e-bay and found a couple of wooden ones for sale but don't know enough about the technology of the cabinets on offer and whether they'd play newer PCB's (e.g. Ibara etc) and whether the monitors would be up to standard.

Consequently I thought the best bet was to go to a web-site that specialised in that kind of stuff but after a bit of searching it would appear that one doesn't exist.

I'd like to play both horizontal and vertical shooters so the screen has to be able to rotate. I'm not willing to spend £1000s however.
