I don't believe you can justify the cash you spend on any hobby, you do it because it interests you and gives you satisfaction or pleasure.

Given im not very far into this. but...
I've spent $50.00 on controls. $30.00 on artwork. And a $25.00 gift cretificate on MDF Handy Panel, Drill (paddle) bits, Rulers, primer and sandpaper.
Total out of pocket costs so far is $80.00. and I get Computer equipment for free from my work ... so
All I really need is Plywood (sidewalls), Screws, More paint, Sideart and T Molding. Monitor bezel, coin Mechs + Doors, and an X arcade BYOkit (not CP), and wire. and (correct me if Im wrong but, THATS IT! :)
I think Ill be around $300-400 total. :)
I want a real arcade monitor too but Ill settle for a free 21" MultiSync Monitor for now.
GO GO RADICADE!!!
