$50 for my cab $100 for my 21" flat screen trinitron monitor $80 for my interface card $25 for my joys and buttons $5 for the wood for new CP I just carry my PC over there when I want to play, it's not dedicated so that's free I guess $260 for a fully functional mame machine. I just need to add a trackball now to be really happy. |

--- Quote from: paigeoliver on February 28, 2005, 12:38:30 am ---I have made tons of Mames at around $250 each. The cheapest one ever for me had a negative cost. I haven't done the math on my big old d9200 equipped beast, but it is gonna be low, at least way low considering what it has in it. Hmm, I paid $250 for the scratchbuilt cab with monitor (someone elses project they later built a better one, it is pretty nice although the build quality isn't as high as a factory cab), I probably have 300+ on the panel, then $15 for the coin door, $15 for the marquee. I used my old desktop so no cash output for the computer. --- End quote --- I actually paid close attention to how Paige setup his stuff and followed suit as it appeared to be the best way to get games up and running at a great price. |

I fuigured the best route to go was to not keep track of my expenses...... 1) for fear the wife would find out 2) may discourage building another 3) see #1 ;D |
