Originally a Street Fighter 2 Champion cab, but when I bought it in December 2012, DarkStalkers was in there. Since then I had a custom extra thick plexi marquee made (missing glass panel), applied sf2 champion cpo (unsure which cpo goes with my game?), sanded and repainted cab, new red t-moldings, new IL Euro sticks/pushbuttons and picked up mini-marquee/instruction cards for its sequel Vampire Hunter (looks better than #1 IMO).

I'm a little on the fence about getting a matching Vampire Hunter marquee to help complete the look. I mean, I appreciate seeing a few characters, but damn is it ugly compared to the original lol. Also, I didn't notice until recently there was what looks like a monitor bezel too...

This is a great game. I just played it for the first time a couple weeks ago....really enjoyed it. Jealous!
 
Very nice! My only cabinet is a Dynamo HS-5 that had flaking black laminate, a bowed marquee area, and was in fairly beat up shape. Got it restored with new Satin Battleship Gray 3M automobile vinyl, replaced the beat up base and marquee area, and have it fully SF2:CE now. Although the Dynamo is a massive beast of a cabinet and a real pain to work with the monitor on, the slide-out drawer makes switching out my SF2:CE/HF board, CPS2 multi and CPS3 multi so much easier.

Agreed, that cabinet is a monster and heavy as hell to move, but that drawer handy. I really would like to have a smaller model like the Sega Astro City cab.
 
Love it! I'm a fan of the entire Darkstalkers/Vampire series. I have one of the titles from the series on my Sega Saturn...jap import...which requires the ST-key or other import override to play. Haven't gotten any of the CPS-2 carts yet, but hopefully soon. Great looking cab!
