I might sell my AES stuff and go fully into MVS... I'm planning to get a cab... but I wonder which one would be the best? at this point I have to say I don't like those tall oldsytle cabs... they look sooo ugly... no thanks!!!

But I love those white ones... Neo 25, Super Neo Candy... and at this point is my question: what is the different between a Neo 25 and a candy cab? both are sit cabs, right? also, is there a difference between 25 and 29... cause I've heard with a 29 monitor sprites getting a bit pixelated, is this true?
Maybe someone got a hint for me :)

yeah the difference is the monater size. i have not played games on the 29 inch so i cant really tell ya differences. the MVS and Neo candys are made by different manufacturers... i really dont know much about it but i heard that the MVS rigs dont have a lot of room to rest the base of your hand. i will probably be getting an MVS-25 because of the low price tag.

Yes the 29's do tend to look a bit pixelated.

I prefer the 25's and 19's for the sharper picture they have , also I feel the 29's can be a bit hard on the eyes after a bit of playing.

I also prefer the Candy cabinets over the US cabs.

I dont think the real SNK US 25's are sitdown cabinets ?
unless you use a stool.

If you are looking for a Candy check out <a href="http://www.arcade-infinity.com" target="_blank">www.arcade-infinity.com</a>

I got mine there , they are great to deal with and usually have some good stuff.

I had one of the jap sit-down 25 cab's and I now have the Super Neo 29. Obviously the bigger you go the more pixelated you get, but it really isn't anything major. Still RGB and looks awesome!

The Super Neo29 has nice looking art too and a colorful marquee too. I have about 10 arcade machines and love the sit-down Neo cab. For home use it gets old standing to play games for too long. The sit-down style is a nice change.

thanks for the response... now I will go for a 25 sit cab... I also think sitting while playing at home is much more comfortable :D

@candycab, thanks for the link... I know them... I wrote an email cause of shipping to europe and this will be as much as the cabs costs... 450 -500$ <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" /> I have to think about it... maybe there is another way or a BIG portion of luck to find one in europe...

@bill55, please post some pics... ten arcade machines is... quite nice :D
