been collecting Neo Geo bits for about 4 years on and off. started like most people playing games on Mame and wanted something more than just playing on a pc, so built my own Custom Neo Cab.

running an MV-1B motherboard and 15" screen.
A SLG3000 adds scaliness it also has a db15 connector to add a 2nd player stick.

cab is running a 138 in 1 (with custom printed label to match the cab)

also have an Analogue CMVS with customised Joystick and a customised AES stick

nice mini cab! Wasn't there enough space for a tube or why did you decide for a flatscreen?

the cab is too small for a CRT screen

there is only just enough room for the motherboard..

the illuminated buttons have custom inserts

the cabinet art is all custom designed by me. i took the image from the 138 in one manual and added a halftone effect to it and blended it onto the cab sideart.

gives the cab a different twist to a standard unit.

Awesome cab, dude.

It's a good idea to have the original MV1 board to keep it real. hehe

Ever thought about building some extras to sell them?

he he... at the moment I'm building 5x raspberry pi arcade machines (rPi 3's and 8' screens) 4 of which will be for sale - running retropie.

if i get a good response from them, and further demand, i might consider setting up a business making arcade machines.

Have to agree... that's a really nice cab you've built.
