Cabinet/power question (Atomiswave cabinet question)

If I understand correctly, that cab does not have a SUN psu (because it's a jamma cab; doesn't need it). The psu that it does have is not very good. The idea is to remove the crappy psu and replace it with a SUN psu, which has all necessary voltages to run the system and no need for additional psu (3.3v or otherwise).

Wouldn't I need two PSUs? For example, a JAMMA cabinet typically comes with a PSU, right?

In order to run a GD rom drive, you need a second PSU, to provide the extra power.

Wouldn't I need two PSU's in the AWSD cabinet, or would the SUN PSU be sufficient?

I guess the whole power thing is crucial to me even considering this cabinet.

By the way, he wants $1,400 (plus shipping), so I'm trying to figure out if that's even worth the money.

Thanks.

IMO I think thats alittle to much for that cab

Exactly. That would be a big NO. :smt018

Okay, thanks.

What would be a good price for an AWSD, or a Net City or Naomi Uni, for that matter?
