robot8319, I also agree that it would be best to find a gutted cabinet.

If you *start* with a gutted cabinet, all your cuts are done.  You may have the coin mechs, and you may have the glass for covering the monitor.

If you make your own, you can't depend on Lowes to make accurate cuts, so you'll need a saw.  Lowes only cuts "approximate" dimensions and only cuts rectangles.  That one purchase is anywhere from 25%-100% of your budget.

i say if you are on the internet, you have enough money! budget tightly, but expect to go over the $40 mark. just get what you can a bit at a time. i wouldnt nail it. to do that you need to drill holes anyway so you might as well use screws  ;D

RayB:

Matte Black paint will look HORRIBLE. Go with satin or semi-gloss finish.

I too vote for putting that $40 towards an empty old 'real' cabinet. Just be patient, keep fishing around. You'll find one eventually.
