    Yeah the transportation & the actual size of it would put most off I reckon

    Yeah it splits into two the seller said, so I presume the screen section detaches & leaves the control section. It looks monsterous, I hope the screen section fits through a doorway when its sideways...

    I rented a van recently from Enterprise.ie i think it was. 113 fully comp insurance over night, you might get it less if its only for a couple of hours. there is no milage charge from them you just have to put back in what petrol you use.

    Have a quote from a local man with a van type business...he reckons in or around €35 for the job which seems pretty damn good.

    So all is set it seems:

    €200 - Check
    Transportation - Check
    Space - Check
    Offer Placed - Check
    Sanity - ...

    I'd jump on it too. Though, I wouldn't start questioning the auld sanity 'til you've spent the better part of 5 hours trying to out-do yourself on Gunblade's Score-Attack mode.

    T'is crack-like, except awesome.

    One thing to note, you'd need to rig up a Virtua Cop light gun. As Gunblade NY has fixed position guns I'd imagine they're not light guns but instead take the inputs from the gun base. Similar to Operation Wolf, Alien the Gun etc.

    If you got a light gun working then you could play House of the Dead too :)

    Still, with a 50 inch projection monitor..feck, I'd be trying to hook up everything under the sun! Not just Model 2 boards. Imagine if you got Time Crisis going on that bad boy. Would be like having one of these

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcScCvtJJnmMitMZGRK0HzicGN8vYoBB_XBxADL9Fp1bz4wx2pPA

    Or one of those 50 inch HOTD 2s :O

    Ah I see, I wonder if there's much involved in doing a conversion...

    Time Crisis 2 is one of my grail cabs. Pity I don't have the room for it though. :(

    No, that's fine, simple links to the ads will be fine.
