went broke making your cab?
Distortion:
After running myself into a hole financially, I'm nearly done with my cabinet! Hooray! I wouldn't have it any other way, LOL. How many of you did similar things to your financial status?
SirPoonga:
I was broke before making my cab:)
MrTeamWork:
This is the 'ugly' secret in cabinet building! It turns out to be much more than you expected to spend :)
But it's fun ^^
And you can't beat the results ^^
Just work more hours ^^
Chris:
I'm always stunned when people brag at how much they spent on their cabinets, like it's a good thing to spend lots of money....
When I first built my cabinet, I was using mostly recycled parts, so I was able to get finished for about $300...
Then after I saw how much it gets played, I started upgrading... first it was just better joysticks... then it was a faster CPU... now I've more than doubled the cost of the cab after rebuilding the CP, adding a lightgun, adding side art, upgrading the motherboard, etc, etc... I think I'm up to $700 total!
SNAAAKE:
I am always broke.... :-[
After the last cabinet I nearly had nothing in my bank and now its little back on track :D.
Got $1300 to spend(errr..waste). :P
