Used to have an Atomiswave, enjoyed it, dumped it for extra play money, and am starting to miss it a year later. Doing some very preliminary research on possibilities.

I have a candy cab (which I used to run an AW in when I had it), but think I'd like an Atomiswave upright (the nifty black Sammy ones, you know). Here are the questions:

1) Anyone have one or have spent lots of time with one? Any opinions on the cabinet itself? How about the different control panels and ease of use? I only need the joystick panel, but that could always change.

2) Is there any key reason that I should want an Atomiswave candy instead of the upright?

3) What kind of price are these getting right now? Figure with an AW board included and the joystick panel only. Game(s) included are optional. What kind of difficulty is there to locating one in the states, particularly on the east coast?

Nothing? I'm surprised. Are there better alternatives than this that I should be considering?

I have played on quite a few atomiswave standups. The monitors in them are a little small looking in relation to the cab itself.

I really think you would be happier with the Candy. Better monitor, better design and they are readly availible from Matsu.

I don't know how much the US ones go for, but if its anywhere near what matsu asks for the Candy, then I would go for the candy for sure.

If space and moving the thing isn't a decider then the AW SD candy for sure.
Swap out the 1 player board for a 2.

I'll let you know on the stand up if you like as one is arriving soon.

The stock sticks that ship with the Atomiswave standups suck total ass.

But that can easily be replaced. However, the tiny ass monitor can't.

Yeah can do... I'd have to pick up a decent camera 1st.
But The Kron could probably clear this up now.

LOVE that cab tho... Pure beauty.
I can get that up the stairs & into the space I have no probs.

There are better cabs around anyway but if your looking @
dedicated AW and like I say space isn't an issue SD candy inn'it
if it is... Stand up.

EDIT: RF 2 straight in there, can't wait :D
