I built a 4-player cab (not including TV and computer) for $1000. Based my design on Scott's Unicade (which is a two-player cab) and he has price analysis for his cab. He lists some things you do not realize you will end up needing. Hope this helps, UncleT |

I never was any good state abreviations. I guess Montana would be MN, or MT, or FWD for all I know. I don't think I could get to Missouri and back in time for work. For me the cab building in a pain the butt that has to be done to give the end result I want. I'd much rather find a cab and convert it than build my own. Which is exactly why I don't have a working cab yet. |

The only reason I would ever really want to build my own cab would be to use all plywood, and then stain it rather than paint it. I have one Midway Galaxian cab like that, and it looks pretty darn good. I imagine one that wasn't beat to crap before it was stripped and stained would look even better. Btw, if you are buliding your own cabinet, and want one to copy, then copy a Defender. It doesn't have any tricky curves to mess up on. The control panel is wooden, and the monitor sits on a shelf. |

The $1000 figures were definitely taking that $400-$600 ding Happ puts on your wallet (assuming you're getting at least one trackball). Do that first, then the sting of multiple trips to Home Depot to pick up "just a couple more things" won't hurt so much. |
