positive newbie; done my homework
thrdbace:
exactly, i have a full workshop (dad's)...and am not concerned with adding a million extras...just want a functioning, fun, conversation piece and project.

My "Galaga" mame cabinet had a total cost of about $150.
The "Pac-Man" mini I did for someone else clocked it at $80 ($20 of which was the glass over the monitor).
The completely scratchbuild MVS Mame I sold at the last superauctions clocked in at $190.
My Midway cocktail mame clocked in at $240
My big monster 25" cab, I'm not sure. Too much.
thrdbace:
Did you purchase a pc for any of those? a tv?
paigeoliver:
"Galaga" Spent $20 on the PC, $75 on the 21" computer monitor.
"Pac-Man" Spent $18 on the computer, spent $10 on the 15" computer monitor.
MVS. Got the comp for free, spent $40 on the "21 PC monitor (which I had to repair).
Midway cocktail. Bought a non-working pinball machine for $150. Traded that for the completed project. Spent $50 on gas, spent $40 on new joysticks.
