buying pcb and jamma/noob help

so i am finally getting a supergun, and need a little help on finding arcade boards. i know to look on ebay and every now and then here, but are there any sites that sell boards for a good price?

also what is the best way to store the boards? i am afraid of messing them up somehow.

I've only ever found boards for decent prices on eBay but I'm sure someone around here will have better ideas.

As for storing them, I usually just keep them in whatever they were shipped in (if it's reasonable). Depending on the board, this is usually one or a combination of:

1. Bubble wrap / bag
2. Box
3. Big padded envelope

Just try to keep them away from static electricity and if they have windowed EPROMs, cover the windows and / or keep them out of the light.

try coinopexpress.com

Best bet is ebay or the website mentioned above but prices are killer sometime on ebay. I got a SF2 Championship Edition for $20 buck.

www.excellentcom.net has better prices.
Just e-mail them and get on their mailing list to get updated stock lists with prices

does it matter what screen i have?

right now i have a hd lcd but my mvs doesn't look too hot on it. also how do i go about playing shooters?

IMO ebay is usualy far over priced, with occasional bargains.
i have always found the best bet, is to talk to any local arcade dealers, check their sources etc
if you ask around at a few you can usualy find good condition boards at good prices.
