This design looks really familiar to me, I think I've seen people here do something like it before. Anyway, apparently, they have illuminated balltops and buttons (it's not obvious from the pic how many, though) and 10,4 inch screens; I'd really be interested in one of them, but I'm wondering about the build quality etc. Has anybody ordered from this website before?

Would anybody be interested in a group order, maybe? I'm from Germany, though...

looks interesting, more interested on where you can source those 10.4" screens. could have a use for those if i could get some.

If that's a laptop build I can't imagine that you would run $300 in DIY costs.  Losing the LED controls (not really worth it on such a small build imo) would save you a bundle too.

It's not a laptop build, it's a 60-in-1 board (even cheaper). Always on LEDs are cheap if done the DIY route.

Looks like monitors can be had pretty cheap too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hitachi-10-4in-TFT-LCD-Screen-TX26D83VC1CAA-/330813617321

Yeah, cheap until you actually want to send a signal to it.

Meh, everyone's affraid to do homework...

$300 shipped?   Well, chalk me up as someone that will never, ever build a bartop again.

 

Man... look at their other ones....

I've seen these in person... their build quality is cheap... cheap joysticks, cheap buttons, melamine coated particleboard...  not really for commercial use... but it should work fine in your house.

Yeah, I didn't exactly expect any miracles... I mean as long as you can play the classics halfway properly. The experts of old school games will probably think it a sacrilege, but I don't need Sanwa sticks to play Donkey Kong (although an actual four way stick would be good). I guess I can still replace the sticks if they're crap or crap out after a while.

PBJ, only the machine itself costs 300 dollars, unfortunately the shipping would be at least another 150, which is why I asked if anyone would be interested in a group buy. I'm working on two other machines at the moment and I don't want to start another project, but I wouldn't mind having a nice little mini cocktail...

edit: sorry, it does say included EMS freight charge, which unfortunately doesn't apply to Germany.

edit: sorry you guys, I'm a moron, there's another pic that clearly shows that it has 2 buttons per player.
