I realize i may get slammed here for this question.......BUT..... 

Having sold my 2 real arcade cabs years ago i am looking for a simple solution to get back into a game for my mancave.  Before, i HAD to have an original cabinet. Now, not so much. Something close that has the feel of an arcade cab.

My plan is to get an ArcadeSD card and just built out the Control Panel that i want. I was looking at this option for 150.00 and it comes with a monitor. Not a terrible price.

Without dogpiling on me, is there something i am not considering with a project like this?

May pbj suggest a pi?

If I did not have a Mame cabinet already, I'd buy that just for the Cabinet (then MAME it).

$150 is a great price IMO.

Phreakwars:
The $150 Space Invaders cabinet was originally going to be the cabinet I used for an Arcade1Up to MAME video I'm doing for my YouTube channel, but ultimately went with a Pacman one instead because my son invested some money into it as well and he wanted pacman. I'd jump on that $150 price, that comes with free shipping. It's the lowest I've found for one as well. I'm not a fan of the Arcade1Up's because of the limited games, limited control layouts, and tiny monitor, but for $150, that ain't nothing that can't be fixed.

Phreakwars:
Also, I do have a little inside info here about this. Walmart is planning on reducing some of the older stock Arcade1Up's for clearance soon, probably around the holidays. If Space Invaders ain't your thing, you might be able to get another model at a low cost as well if you wait it out a bit.
