I'm in for about $810.00 thus far & still need a spinner to complete my CP.

I'm getting back $200.00 in rebates from the purchase of my barebones computer that I bought from TigerDirect.

So, when all is done, $710.00 for my first cab.

I bought the cab (complete NBA JAM) & began the project in August, so that's about $350.00/month thus far!  :o

Oh $h*t, I need to eBay some stuff!  :o  Ha!  It's SO much fun though & I found this place too hang out too!

I don't know how many of you are anal enough to keep track of your purchases in a spreadsheet, but I am (it's the best way to know when you've gone a little too "ebay crazy", and to chill for a while).

I added up all Arcade related purchases for the last 12 months: $2,325.38!! YEOW!

That adds up to the same monthly as my car payments.

And no, it's not all for the one MAME cab I'm working on. This includes parts for several cabs, and also includes things like the parts I used on the top-fire joysticks I sold, and includes shipping.

But still!  ;D  I could've gone on vacation instead!

Oh man, I wouldn't even want to think about this.  Between the botched artwork, original controls, swappable panels then modular panels, moving from molex to cat 5, just too much $$ to think about.

It's all worth it though, and I'll keep spending     ;D

( an arcade monitor is next hopefully )

I've spent a bit over $1,000 so far, about $350 more than I'd planned on. $250 for a used dance pad I thought I'd never need, about $100 for a spinner and knob I hadn't planned on getting :)
