What did you spend?
quarterstringer:
I haven't kept a total cost either, but shipping is a big percentage of the costs.
Coin door was $13, but shipping was another $15.
Pole Position wheel was $15, shipping was $15.
Translucent leafs $10, shipping was $5.
Wico joysticks $10, shipping was $5.
Various parts from Happs, Ultimarc and Oscar Controls must have cost another $60 in shipping.

overall around 1200
but some stuff like the monitor i already had, so its not like i sat down and bought 1200 worth of stuff all at once... it was over 3 years

Im at about 1200 also but Ive been working on my cab for 2 years. Still need a 27" TV for it. and a bezel and its pretty much done. Till I want to upgrade it.
Or build a new one... ;D
slycrel:
I'm probably in the $1000-1200 range. I bought so much extra stuff I was stupid. :D
The actual parts that went into the cab were probably in the $500 range. I also bought a bunch of tools, wood that I never used, a trackball, iPac4, and optiPac that's not used yet, a bunch of extra controls, coin door, etc.
If I had it to re-do from scratch I'd find myself a strider macine in decent shape and get a J-Pac for it and fix that up.
Someday maybe I'll build that 4 player cab, but as of late I've not even used the 2 player SF setup near as much as I thought I would.

I'm pretty anal about keeping track of what I spend. I have 2 Excel spreadsheets, detailing every penny I put into my first and second cabinets.
The link below is a shot of everything I put into the first.
