I take it back, i didnt tally everything up, its just a rough estimate, because my summer job yearly total is over a thousand dollars, and most of it has gone to this arcade. What I have boughten so far, for whoever asked up there.... Custom built a computer, ended up costing alot 27 inch tv with S video 4 or 5 sheets of MDF Act Labs TV Gun Rom Sets A Few PC Games that will be played on the arcade (house of dead, Virtua fighter 2, MK4 ect) Coin Door Various handles and lock mechs for cabinet marquee S video cable Marquee Retainer Trackball 4 way joystick 1-4 player start buttons 60 watt pc speakers keyboard mouse Thats all I can think of right now off the top of my head ,theres probably more I didnt list, Ill tally it up later, my point is this is a real expensive hobby! |
