    thats awesome you are getting some MVs cabnets, all you gotta do is open up the cabnet to add more Neogeo carts, thats a money saver right there

    also a few pinball rigs wouldnt hurt ether, pinball is the original arcade game

    Edit: Crap nemesis beat me to it.

    Pinball machines (at least 2) are definitely going in, we already own a Terminator one.

    Pics are also a definite, but not until I have the theme I like completed.

    Yeah the 6 player X-men would be cool just figured the 4 player would be cheaper and smalller/easier to move and fit in somewhere.

    Try to find some parts and pieces to machines, you might find an empty cab somewhere and then find the board that goes with that cab somewhere else. I can't imagine its that hard to get one running.

    Actually I actually do know something about it because I had some friends of mine that ran a pool room with a few machines. Anyone that is technically inclined could hook one up with the multitude of guides and instructions posted by people online. Its not any more complex than building a PC. I know if my buddy Jerry worked on them just about anyone could if they followed instructions. He couldn't afford to pay someone to do it.

    It might be a good idea for Corey to learn basic repairs and maintenance on machines, if he plans on running an arcade.

    I've offered some constructive criticism and some suggestions in this thread.
