VO dual cabs go for $300-600 usually (there are always people selling them for over 1k but they dont count). IT is a bit of a niche title in the USA and the cab is quite large. But if you can fit it ANYWHERE in your house, or a friends house, or your church, or even a storage facility until you can get the space in the house, DO IT. VO in the arcade is something that is impossible to properly duplicate. To me, it is the pinnacle of 1 on 1 vs combat games. The only downside I can see is getting parts for it when it breaks. The grips are damn near impossible to find – Ive seen them pop up individually once in the past seven years).

The next one that shows up within three states of my house for under $500 is mine. However if you dont buy it...your not that far away.
