MAME Machine For Sale

[Tempest]

Due to lack of space, it's time to sell my MAME cab. I'm asking $500 which includes the cab, TV, and computer (I'll have to remove the roms before selling however). It would be local pickup in SE Michigan or you'll have to arrange for your own shipping.


The cab is actually pretty nice. It's not one of those top of the line $2000+ deals you see on ebay, but it works really well. It's definitely home made (plywood covered with laminate), but the craftsmanship is solid. It has:

CPU: Pentium 4 computer (3.8 Ghz) with 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive. This was my main computer before I got my new one a few years ago (it's a Dell XPS systems if you remember those). It's running Windows XP with MAME32 as a frontend. The roms were up to date as of a year ago (no chds though).

CRT: I'm using a 27" CRT TV connected to the video card via S-video. The resolution is high enough to see what you're doing in XP, and works great in MAME. The giant TV makes a great monitor and the mouse can be controlled with the trackball.

Controls: The control panel has two six button joysticks and a three button trackball. I installed new sticks into it a few years ago that pull and twist so you can switch between 4 and 8 way for different games (makes a huge difference). The decoder is a HAPP board, and I have the instructions for configuring it.

Other: There are two areas in the top of cabinet for installing speakers, but I just put my computer speakers in them and they work great. There's a CD drive built into the front but I don't have it hooked up to the computer inside (never saw a need to do that). The control panel flips open and has storage underneath (this is where I keep the mouse and keyboard).
