Price for Building the Project Arcade?
Voodoo_Ray:
Nice one fellas
Yeah, I'm chomping at the bit to get started. Playing Track and Field, whilst bashing the keys on my PC just ain't right.
Probably will upgrade my oldish P4 which I imagine is more than adequate for most games. And thankfully have a friend in the woodwork business who may be able to lend me some experience and the odd plank of wood. I've seen Ponyboy's name a few places and will have to get in touch regarding shipping to the UK.
Thanks again
I can see it all coming together!

I estimate that mine will end up costing around $1600. I've been keeping an Excel spreadsheet of almost all of my purchases.
About $300 was invested in tools and hardware that I didn't have... but that will last me long after I finish the cabinet: Router, Bits, Clamps, Sawhorses, etc.
My cost also includes a new $400 home-built computer (newegg.com!) and a $500 SlikStik Classic control panel. People swear that you can build a clone for cheaper, but I priced it out and it came out almost equal... so I bought the professional CP.
Oh, and I also had to buy a 27" JCV television for $229 as my monitor. I've been "funding" my project by putting much of my defunct other hobby stuff up on eBay. :)
Cheers!

the best advice is to not keep trck of the price, just buy what you can when you can.

Excellent advice for the builder/nutbag. Now, for your significant other, I'd just brain them and keep them out until you're done.
