Someone can't take a joke. Just trying to give a heads up, so he doesn't make some of their mistakes, sheesh :tool:

Thanks, Mark. I can take a joke fine, but there is no need to mock a noob because he doesnt have the cash flow to support a multi-thousand dollar build.
If I have been obtuse and somehow missed your gentle constructive criticism, then I apologize. I took your comment to be a smartass crack at a guy trying to put a cab together inside his tight cashflow restrictions.
Folks like Paige and others have been putting together quality MAME builds on the cheap for a long time. I expect my current MAME project to come in at under $50 out of pocket. It won't win any Mamey's, but it will do the job just fine.
Cheers.
EDIT: I do realize that I DID mock the same noob in a prior post, but hopefully the reinforcing I did to the point made by spacies makes it apparent that I really do want to help. If not, I offer my apologies to robot8319.

OMG CRAPMAME *CONFETTI* !!111ONEONE
To builder, I would expect it to cost a bit more, but a little bit spent each month doesn't hurt much. It'll be fine. Good luck.

$40 is going to be tight...
Just for example, a sheet of 4'x8' 3/4" plywood is ~$20.
A full size cab will take 2-3 boards ($40-60).
I spent around $300-350 on wood/paint/arcade parts(button/joy/i-pac/coin door). And like most of us here, had a spare PC lying around. If you don't, its even more $$$.
Don't lose hope, but unless you can pick up charity parts or dumpster dive :laugh:, it'll go over budget....
AtomSmasher:
Since he already has a computer, monitor, and control panel, he might be able to do it for $40. You'll probably want to borrow a jigsaw from someone to make the cuts Lowes can't do.
