Hello all! I've been lurking around here for awhile now, and just finally registered. Thouhgt I'd share some pics of my Castlevania themed arcade cab I built. Anyway, just wanted to say Hello!

How much would you charge to produce one of those? Different theme though.

Not that I dislike the theme, it is badass, but I would want a different theme for mine.

It looks nifty! All the lights and everything. but personally I'd rather have the classicvania theme rather then the IGA's version. It just doesn't jive with me.

 That looks so professional, I liked it.

I actually built two of these, one for me and one for a friend. His has a different theme though. Honestly, I never gave it much thought on how much to charge to build one. I can tell you that I have about $1500.00 into it, not including the LCD monitor.

I no what you're saying. A friend of mine that is pretty good in photo shop did the art for me. He's in his 40s and has never even heard of Castlevania. lol  My take on it was alot more classicvania.

Well this place is the best imo. http://www.mameroom.com/home.asp
You can totally customize cabs the way you want,buttons,layout the whole 9.  I got the header elsewhere(marvel capcom theme) and made my own side art. Most places sell a cab as is pre-made or build it yourself but as is with little in the way of customization,but not this place. This place let's you do pretty much whatever. You can build 2 players,4players,I'm sure by now they probably have 6 players,race car cabs, shooter cabs. Sit down ones, even restaurant table style. THis place is the most kick ass imo if you wanna make you own cab.

Whatever you do if you decided to buy from these guys which i highly recommend,make sure to check out their gallery. Some of these people cabinets are amazing and it might give you an idea on what you wanna do with yours if you get one.

Ah, so he didn't do all the fancy lights and stuff himself. I will definitely consider getting one of those 4 player models. That will be awesome.

The only thing I had help with was the artwork, everything else I did myself.

Damn dude the best part is the control panel with drac's face. I think i also see a belmont weilding a whip but it's hard to see at teh angle you shot it at. Plus the buttons are kinda in the way. But yeah that is probalby the first of it's kind for a castlevania cab and a very nice one at that unless you count the castelvania whip arcade game. Makes me wanna suup up mine cab.

What's with the red joystick at the top? What is it suppose to be for? The beverage holders are also ingenious.
