Suggest some polygon pushing JAMMA kit PCBs to collect...

I am really having a great time with my newest purchase, a Soul Calibur PCB. It is quite a sight seeing this game in my current JAMMA cab, all of my other PCBs are 2-D games from my youth. This is a modern-ish game, my latest at 1998.

I would like to know if there are many other common late model polygon pushing JAMMA PCBs that are:
1. Solid state - I want to stay away from CD and hard drive based hardware
2. Use standard 8-way, 6 button (or less) controls
3. Use a standard monitor (G07, 4900, etc)
4. Use a standard switching power supply (not the PC power supply type)

Anyone have some suggestions, besides Tekken? I am at a loss, most of the newer games I see are dedicated monstrous light gun games or driving games. I am open to all types of games that use the setup above. Fighting, puzzle, driving, ship shooter, etc.
 
Get a Sega Naomi system. A lot of the games were just cartridges, you didn't have to use CD's on all of them.

Also the Sega STV stuff, there's several games for it, and it's really cheap. I always liked Die Hard but a lot of people don't.
 
Don't forget all the Namco System 10/11/12 stuff of course. PSX processors and surface mount EEPROMs. They have a tendency to blow input buffers though.

Also, Naomi was mentioned, but... netbooting. All I'm gonna say.

Why all the disk drive hate? A bad disk drive is only nasty if there's a serial lock against the disk drive itself. And even then, most of the serial locks have been worked around, and CF mods are becoming increasingly common. Do your research and play the games you like, whether they run from a hard drive or not.
