A $300 Mame cab can be done. Look for a super cheap or free cabinet in solid condition and add parts from there. No woodworking necessary. You can get 21" computer monitors for $20 nowadays and a cheap PIII to run it all for $30 or so. Keeping your eyes peeled and asking questions will save you a lot of money. |

Thanks guys, I think I've figured out what I want to do. I'm going to wait until I find the right size cab, and MAME it until I get an MVS or NAOMI down the road. |

Welcome, I think that the most important thing to make it possible to maintain your budget is to do a lot of research. Research to get all your decisions made on what your going to do and buy, as the biggest problem you'll run into with a super tight budget is errors. If you start heading in the wrong direction, or decide half way through that you are going to go a different direction, then budget's shot... You need to watch for deals, but if it ends up not being something you'll use because you've since changed your direction, then it's not a deal. I don't know how much you've been researching here, but there is a lot to learn and many decisions to be made. Since I've started planning, my path has changed several times, and I'm still not sure which to take. Good luck, Rick |

If you think you've figured out what you want to do, sit on it for a little while, it will change again. It's best to wait until you are 100% sure about something after sitting on it for a bit, before you fire up those power tools. It's a pain if you change your mind after. r |
