this is what it would look like

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3945&item=6165831890&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

I have got a very similar cabinet which I purchased three weeks ago. I put
the Arcade VGA / J-PAC and New PC in over Easter.
Its a real beauty. The 29" screen in unbelievable. I was really happy with
my old PC and X-Arcade setup but having this is a whole different ball game.

Be interesting to see how much it goes for.......... compared to what mine
cost.

One odd thing. To my untrained eyes, that looks as though it started out
life as a JAMMA cabinet, but the seller describes it as using an I-PAC.
I was under the impression that JAMMA cabs required the J-PAC. You'd
think the seller would know what he was talking about. I guess maybe I
can't recognise a JAMMA cab as well as I think I can.

You can get these from a few companies.

They are pretty inexpensive, shipping is expensive but with a 29" monitor
it might actually worth it. If people were really serious it might be
possible to get a discount on a large order.

Oh? All the ones I've seen that I /know/ were JAMMA look superficially
similar, so I had figured that there was a sort of uniformity of design
to them. I guess the uniformity is not limited to JAMMA cabs, huh?

From the site;

Freight costs for 1 unit only normally costs approx $600-1200usd per
cabinet (including crating, local truck fees, export fees and sea
freight). If container orders, per unit freight cost becomes approx
$150-250usd

Ouch!
