If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I like the way the control panel is just slightly wider than the case. I don't know if that's how the originals were but it looks pretty cool.

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Well, after having to buy 2 monitors (the first one arrived with a crushed picture tube) from Wells Gardner, I was already into this for $1000. After all was said and done (being that this is actually a MAME system), I was at close to $3000. I bought everything brand new down to the wiring.
