this cost me about 220 and its hooked up for component and S-video and composite. it has the UniBios 3.0 (cheat device) and it came with a controller. the vinyl decal ran me about 40 bucks and the plexiglass underneathe ran 13 bucks.

I was going to do the MVS read with the white stripes blah blah blah, but i decided that this looked cooler and more original than any I have seen.

i dig it. i'm not much into neo-geo simply because everything is so expensive, but that is a sweet piece of art/gaming you've got there.

$220 is a lot less than I thought something like this would be. How much would a single slot run with just s-video? Also, is it possible to have a VGA output?

you gotta break down the process for us flak. This seems crazy cheap for such a great product.

a single slot open face CMVS runs usually around 175, the 2 slot is so much easier to mod from what i have been told. There is guides everywhere on how to do it apparently, but to buy one already done is 175 for a single slot. No VGA from my knowledge, I don't think it supports it, but i could be wrong. S-video is usually the standard on most CMVS's. It is cheaper but some of the carts are still freaking outrageous even on MVS. I just dropped $440 on 5 mvs carts with shock boxes and inserts.

That is a very nice looking MVS. Helps reinvigorate my desire to find someone local to me who could paint VG designs on my consoles. I found a couple on ebay, but things like my modded AES I would either need to find local or send to someone (which makes me nervous).

that thing is beautiful! Best custom mvs console I've seen yet (and now the stick!) Wish I'd gone this route sometimes as opposed to AES still contemplating whether I want to keep getting aes games or not and whether I want to mod mine further etc. probably will but I also plan on getting an mvs cab (50 bucks plus delivery from california) kinda like having original hardware with as few mods as possible not to mention no one will buy my aes/games from me anyway.

Why this instead of a cab btw?
