i paid 150 for the machine with an original capcom sf2 turbo pcb, so call it 100 for the cabinet as the game was worth 50+, i built the pc for under 300. buttons, sticks and artwork was around 100..

result, priceless!

it doent cost alot to put together your own machine, id recomend it to all, there simply is no better way to use hyperspin/mame!


oh... and a vid of it running!

thanks for looking!

Nice transformation , looks great, you ever thought of sideart? It kinda sticks out that the sides look different than the front.

[thesharkfactor]

the genuine sideart for sf2 is just an A5 sized picture of ryu's back with the sf2 logo.. it looks abit crap, and is quite expensive... i was going to paint the sides black, but still work in progress really..open to suggestions! lol..

thanks

[drummer_god]

u can find the sideart on ebay from time to time.
cant be too much to pick up, and finish the look.
