| Eric1970:
thanks everyone. Sounds like it's not as tough as I'm telling myself. I think I will start with a CP and get things working right and configured with MAME, then buy or build a cabinet. Thanks again and keep the ideas coming! When I finish my first, I'll be sure and post. At worst it will give a good laugh! |

Take lots of pics and start a thread in the "Project Announcements" forum. If nothing else, it's fun to look back at after it's all said and done. |

about how much does it cost to buil just the cabinet (not incluiding the controllers) ???? I'm talking about a really simple one, w/o any fancy stuff. |

You could always start with a simple 'test' board. Making holes and adding things as you like. Once you settle on your configuration, make the board you'll keep, just be sure it'll fit your cabnet. :laugh: |

eric1970, build your own cp, its worth it and you will learn alot from doing so. As far as the cabinet. If you got a grilfriend or wife like mine, who thought it was a total waste of time and money...then prepare for hell. But, the flip side of this for me was that when I sold the completed cabinet for a profit; she saw the light (extra money)..now im doing my sixth cabinet and can complete it in a week and a half.. The people on this board are great and will help you with anything reguarding your project. Hawkypro |
