I wouldn't consider it a "ghetto" kind of set up, Circuit Face. At least yours isn't a fire hazard, like the trashcade.

^Not too bad. It looks comfortable enough. Although I would hate placing my controller on my lap!

Arcade cab, Asian trash style ^_^
Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a cab...

Nice choice of PCB, thesuperkillerxxx. Batrider is an awesome little game (been playing it a lot lately, inbetween Ibara and Garegga...) ^_^

Is that a monitor capable of 15khz or a tv? Or do you use an upscan converter?

Here's mine:

It's a 15in LG Flatron LCD TV (model 15LA31, no longer listed on LG's site). It's capable of all frequencies and resolutions, has SCART, S-Video, Composite and VGA inputs. I chose this one because it has flat edges, easy to TATE ^_-

I'm looking for a new one, though, something a bit bigger. I'd consider the Apple Cinema Display (as I need a display for my Powerbook G4), but they only have DVI inputs -_-;;

OMG that is an accident just waiting to happen.

I can hear it now: Local man killed in his sleep...by his computer monitor!

One of these days I'll have to set up my ghetto TATE on my LCD that I use for Saturn and DC shmupping. If I was ambitious I'd figure out how to set up my Saturn in my cabinet, but first of all I want to get it into decent looking shape (it's a bit banged up right now, and the control panel needs some work.)

The Dell 2001 FP is pretty nice. It's nice and big, easily tateable (in one direction anyway, sadly the wrong way for a lot of games, but I'm sure that could be fixed with a bit of moification), good looking display, composite, s-video, and vga inputs (maybe DVI too, I can't remember), and a hell of a lot cheaper than the Cinema Display. I'm not really a big fan of those anyway, as we had one at work that failed after about 3 years - the backlit went out. It was out of warranty, and Apple wanted $700 to fix the thing. This was a 17 inch model, not nearly worth fixing for that price.

I like how your TV is angled back (and large size), similar to the standard JPN arcade cabinet. Though, please tell me you have at least S-video connection, sitting that close to screen!

That's correct, the 2001FP has VGA, DVI-D, S-Video and Composite. I've been using mine for well over a year now, and it's worth every penny I paid for it.

Why use LCD if you like to play shoot em ups? You don't mind the response time?

Yup. I'm not as fussy as some when it comes to graphics. "As long as I get to play it, I don't care about anything else" is what I say ^_^

Besides, it does the job well enough, for me at least.

I might have to take a look at that model (and any others in the range). Thanks for the heads up ^_^

Thats what I'm talkin about. You can screw and play a game at the same time.

@Icarus: Thanks for the compliment on APB, raizing's most FUN game IMO, Garegga beats it in style

@oxtsu: Yep, S-video on all fronts, best I can do for now... and I love the lean also, it truly does feel like plaing at a cab.

@TWITCHDOCTOR: It doesn't bother me too much to have it on my lap, but a stand will be acquired soon.

OT: got two pretty good scores tonight after plaing action RPG's all weekend. 111,xxx,xxx on mushi arrange beat my old high score by nearly double, and a good run on Raiden II. I love my new setup!
