Do you guys think there is a good market for selling mame cabinets?
KillerArcades:
I agree with leapinlew on this, (though perhaps we're now straying off topic just a smidge ;) ). I've had lots of people become very interested in a custom jukebox and/or karaoke machine (about the same price range for either). So, these are some other good routes to go if you're looking for some extra spending cash.

I think a bigger market with more potential would be jukeboxes. I can't believe the interest mine generates. I've had lots of people want me to make them one. It's much less costly too:
Material to build the juke (1 4x8 sheet)
1/2 gallon or less of paint and primer
T-mold
Touchscreen
Computer
Speakers
Speaker Grills
Casters
I did mine for around $300 (I already had a computer). But everyone is interested in it - seems that everyone has a music preference.

Sorry - but I have a hard tim believing you got that size of touchscreen and still had around $300 of expense. I have a 3x5 touchscreen and it was over $150 for the overlay and USB controller. If it really was around $300 for all that....let us in on the secret to finding inexpensive touchscreens.

Good call rbarr! I posted this in the project announcements and I didn't want to go on and on in the OP's thread about my jukebox. You are right to be suspicious.
What your looking at is a 15" CRT from 3M. I picked it up for $71 shipped on ebay. I believe it was a good find, but they are out there.
