Hi there guys i am in the process of trying to find myself a first cabinet for an arcade machine. Basically what i want to do is this. I am a total DIY tinkerer, so i'm going to be buying myself a NAOMI 2 board and some games and would like to set it up in my cabinet, i would also like to maybe use it as a mame box and put sammy hardware into it also. I realise i cant do all this at once and will most likely buy multiple cabinets in the end but for now just the cab to start. I just wanted to know if anyone could give me their opinions on these 2 cabs mainly for the NAOMI stuff.

This is the first one, please also any comments on price would be good to (ie are they to high)

Second one here

I'm pretty noob with all this stuff so please don't be too harsh on me if these seem like stupid questions

Two more that i could get

That's about all i can get here in AUSTRALIA that i have been able to find. Personally i really like the sammy cab, however the astro city cab is second on my list. If i was to get the sammy cab is it possible to get a 2 joystick panel for it???

Any help welcomed, if there is also some resource that anyone could point me to that maybe has differences on the cabinets???? anyways thanks in advance

the AWSD is a good cab, as is the Cyberlead as they come with naomi ready power supplys.

the Astro will need a Naomi PSU.

well depending on what your putting in it. If you would like the ability to change the control panel dont get the cyberlead, but get either the atomiswave or the astro city. Both of them have fairly easily found interchangeable control panels, which for naomi stuff is great as alot of games have specialty panels.

Ok guys i was leaning towards the sammy anyways as i just think its as sexy as hell. I'm guessing that your comment about changing control panels means i can actually take away the single joystick control panel with the card reader and connect a 2 joystick one to it?? Sorry if this is noob but i'm trying to get a start on my first cab here.

thanks

not only can you put a two person control panel, youll need an egret 3 panel, but you can use super monkey ball which uses a banana control, as well as other naomi games that require specialty panels
