crtrrss Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 hey, i found a working neo geo on craigslist near me for $75! i will sell all of the original parts except for a few wires and the monitor and make money off this thing! im going to replace the control panel with a cool rotating one i found online ( heres the link http://1uparcade.rmf...nst-panels.html ) his control choice was kinda weird so im designing my own. the panel has 3 sides and so far i only have 2 designed ( 1 for racing and 1 normal arcade) and i need suggestions for the 3rd side. im going to use chrome rimmed rgb led buttons from ultimarc with a ipac and a pacled64! its going to look awesome! also planning to add this usb lcd screen to the machine for various reasons ( heres the link to this to http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1438.l2649 ) and hope that it could work with a front end and display the title of the game or the weather or some function from a front end. even if it will work, would the touchscreen part work with it too? and help is appreciated.

Circo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I had a neo geo shell once, I had to sell my house and I gave it away. I had such grand plans for it. Enjoy your project, can't wait to see how it turns out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John84h Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Looks awesome! please tell me you plan to update this thread and let us know how it's going. I've been guilty of not doing that for some of my HTPC builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaybe Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Awesome deal! I am having a hard time finding cheap cabinets out here. I asked a guy at a game store if the neo geo cab was for sale and he was disgusted with me for wanting to turn it into a multicade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antinull Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 thats a weird cabinet to get upset overi mean neogeo is already a multi cade but there are plenty of empty cabinets in the wild finding them is the hard part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
