If you really want a cab, go to your local arcade and see what they are willing to sell, most will sell really cheap. Then all you have to do is get it home, and fun summer project, turn it into a Neo... It is really not that hard of a job and it can be cheaper then ever getting something like this online (and probably more rewarding since you will get it up and running and be able to know how everything works with buttons/joysticks/Harness/etc). Cabs do not cost a lot, if you know where to buy them... and if you want to get a cool looking cab head down to your arcade and see what they will part with. Don't waste anything on this shit auction, that cab is not worth even $150 in my eyes... it is a bad conversion to boot and the side panels are terribly done. I agree with GamersAbyss here... that cab is not worth a thing,

I agree with you as well, your local Operator will have all kinds of cabinets to choose from, you can pick one out and customize it yourself. To me thats half the fun of getting into the Arcade scene. Being an Operator myself I know just how cheap these cabinets can be obtained and a 19" conversion like this probably cost the guy at most 75 bucks at an Arcade auction.
