Anyone interested… There is a dude on ebay selling 2 New Astro City Cabs for 995$ with FREE Freight Shipping anywhere in the Continental US. And yes, it’s not a typo… it’s free freight shipping. Might be a good buy for some of us East Coasters.
Thats a good ass deal!!
You guys are crazy, how is $1000 for 1 astro cheap?
Also this guys Kingsley is notrious for sending refurbish machines & shitty smoke crap candies to people…Look him up through KLOV & Neo-geo forums…
TWO new astro city cabinets for 1000 shipped
thats a good-ass deal
Picked up the Naomi today. It looks gorgeous. The monitor is bright and sexy. New Sanwas JLFs and buttons. I’ll be redoing the control panel wiring into the early morn. Happy happy.
Those Candy Cabs are 1k each not for both unless I’m misreading the listing.
its deff 1k each as it says quantity 1
but he has 2 available
Lol then I retract my previous statement!!
should thread not be a sticky?
i have to search for it each time… it seems to get drowned pretty quickly. it deserves a place in the sticky section as good inspiration for all- many never even consider or think about owning a cabinet to play street fighter on…
here’s my HDremix joystick again for good measure…
^ that is pure sexiness there
Just paid for another Big Blue…this one with MvC2 in it.
I will post some pics tomorrow when I pick her up.
And I agree, I’d love to see this thread stickied.
That Sega marquee is awesome. Did it come with the cab?
Pics of the first one or it didn’t happen
@ Kyle, Is that your new cab you were talking about?
@dash - My first Big Blue is on page 10.

It was the one running SF III: New Generation (but I currently have Alpha 3 in there).
I’ll post the pair next to each other tomorrow after I pick it up. I just got a call from the seller that someone who missed out has been offering her more money! Luckily it was some charity deal and I actually have a reciept…
Nice! Can’t wait to see it. always good to see some big blues have good homes!
I have another little trick up my sleeve for one of my big blues. I’ll have some more pics up tomorrow as well.
Pardon the terrible photo quality. My babies:

Next order of business is to split the video signal to an extra monitor since there’s not much space to look over the shoulder. Once that’s done, I’ll upload nicer photos.
I’m planning on getting an astro city cabinet. I was wondering if I can put a ps3 or xbox 360 into it? If so, does it require buying different parts for the astro city?
Well I don’t have my pic up yet because I’m waiting on my buddy with his truck…who just woke up…and his truck is at the casino he was partying at last night, lol. But like I said it’s all good…how often are you given a reciept when you buy a cab? I got lucky!
Now here’s some good news - I have ANOTHER Big Blue being delivered to my doorstep Friday. And this one is a SUPER TURBO, baby!
Bernie, I saw those candies in the “Vegas donks” thread. Very, very nice. Yet again this thread makes me the_jealous.
And here’s a crappy cell pic of MvC2 moving in. Since my netbook isn’t cooperating I’m just gonna link you to another post at another board:

If your Astro has a Tri-sync monitor you can just use the VGA on it, but probably you wont have one so you would have to buy some kind converter to change 15k to 31K…I have viletim’s console adapter & picture is pretty amazing but a bit pricey. Cost about $135 shipped plus you still need to get a SCART cable for the 360 & PS3. So that would cost you about $180…There maybe cheaper alternatives but this i believe is the best quality possible.
