What did you spend?
Tokey:
$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.

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.

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.

2) may discourage building another
3) see #1 ;D
