My first machine probably cost me around $1000, of which I'd say $300 or $400 was just in little parts, tools, and supplies that weren't even arcade-specific. Otherwise, the PC was free, the monitor was $250, and the machine was $50. That's breaks down as: big essentials -> $300 new small stuff -> $400 improvements ->$300 A cabinet that isn't already in stellar condition can be a real money pit if you're you're satisfied with it. |

I'm starting out on my first MAME cab. I did loads of research first on prices for components etc. and I even considered buying a ready made machine from DreamAuthentics. Their Excalibur unit costs around |

I shold have converted my figure. It was in Canadian dollars. The US amount is closer to $1750. Includes new monitor from Happ, with shipping, taxes and import fees... Parts for my Galaga, t-molding for 4 cabs, cost of 3 used cabs in various shape... so at least what I spent isn't all on one project. ~Ray |
