You want a classic red and black Neo cab instead of the smaller Candy? Why? Candys look cooler and they come with bigger screens (25" and 29"). Calssic cabs go for a bit less, but something tells me if you jumped into AES collecting then the $100 won't matter much.
Anyway, you can find an empty Neo cab with a 19" - 25" monitor for around $200 (Cadnys go for $250 - $300). They often pop up in your Penny-Savers or Classified-type adds. You can also attend an arcade auction or simply make an offer on one at your local arcade (alot of times they are willing to part with them). Boards range from $150 for a 1 slot to $300 for a 6 slot.

That's pretty much it. I would recommend picking up a complete cab so you can see it running before you take it home, but I don't know of any dealers on the East coast. If you're lucky, maybe an arcade operator will let one of his Neos go for for around $400, then it's just a matter of bringing it home and playing the night away <img src="graemlins/tickled.gif" border="0" alt="[Tickled]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>thanx man, i appreciate it, i didnt think of the clasified adds im gonna check those in a minute or so, ne wyas i think i'll make an offer at my local arcade, i dunno if the guy will take a 15 yr old kid seriously. i'll give it a try, ne way maby i'll havemy dad ask. thanx man!
