yes if you like throwing money away,they probably built that for 400 quid

really depends on what you want

Actually, it depends..

If you can and want to build your own - as in BYOAC  >:D - and don't want to count the hours etc., not worth, not nearly! A new hobby? Build Your Own Arcade Machine?

If, on the other hand, you just want a good looking machine the easy way ..Go for it!

Sure they made it for 400 ..but then again, that's probably just the parts. Add a reasonable something per hour for all the work you'd have to do (and then add all the money for the equipment needed) and it might even seem like a bargain? And, are they offering any guarantees? How's their return policy?

Still, it's your money..

I loved how they say their cabinets are "C&C" cut for perfect precision. 

WTF is a C&C cut cabinet? 

The first C must stand for Crazy based on the price
I think the other C means Cheesy based on the chrome T-molding

A little overpriced.

That's retardese for CNC, which is Computer Numeric Control.
I'm partial to chrome molding, but it has to be two stripes of chrome on a chocolate brown.

Not a great price once you convert to US$ or Cdn$.  But maybe shipping will make up alot of difference.   Build your own.  If you want to buy someone elses build then there are cheaper builds but you will have to factor in shipping to Scotland.
