I see. I'm used to screw terminals, but with the grounding and everything i'm a bit worried (I know some stuff about wiring, I disassembled and reassembled vacuum cleaners and ac plugs multiple times, but this is still new to me.) I can probably do it, but i'll need a $10 visit to a hardware store.
Also, again, if I were to find a cabinet with a control panel, what is a good price range for someone on my budget? I don't want to blow all my money on the cabinet and not have enough for the electronics, and have a wooden box just sit in my living room until i could get the parts.

I need to look around here more.
Every empty cab I find people are $200+ and won't budge.
Even the one's missing parts or with broken coin doors and crushed corners.
Their nuts.
not gonna pay that for a beat up box that literally has no more use to them in a commercial environment anymore due to it's condition.
I don't need one right now anymore because I decided to make my own after seeing the prices.

Do you have a photo of exactly everything you're getting in the cab? That would help.

I think a lot depends on where you live and how patient and diligent you are. There are currently a couple empty cabs available in my area for free on craigslist. One even has a monitor that might work. Other areas are sinfully difficult to find anything.
