That's pretty sweet, but don't go bidding on that. I think with some hard graft and determination you could build your own. Ok, it may not be as good, but you have to start somewhere. You'll find plenty of good advice around here.

That said, he has three of these sweet machines up for grabs, so there's plenty to go round.

I'm surprised he hasn't been carted away by men in white suits for thinking that people will fall for that rip off.

Man that is sweet. Thats a real tough choice of my fav part of the cab, between the controller or the real wood cab. ( it IS real wood isn't it...not just fake wood cardboard stuff! )

yea, hard to resist that real wood craftmanship there

As a British arcade builder, I'm completely embarrassed that a fellow countryman can build such a dog's behind. After all, England is home of the cab builder's best friend, Ultimarc!!

On the other hand, it's all good news for me if that's my competition.....

Puts my projects to shame :laugh2:

$100 for a PC, some decent computer joysticks, and a 21" monitor isn't a bad deal.

Check out this line:

'It has been made from thick chipboard, painted with a vinal black exterior paint and screwed together solidly.'

.........So it's made of cardboard, tacked together and will fall apart or melt if it gets wet.

You guys & gals are a trip.  I’m glad to be apart of a community that is so passionate about arcades.  Love this forum.

That is kinda pricy for a door stop.

One has sold for £55.00.   I cannot see how this guy is gonna make a profit. Those Logic3 Arcade sticks, crap as they are, sell for around £12.00 each on the net plus shipping. That's £25.00 at least there. Plus the monitor and the "work" he has put into it. £55 is simply not worth it..... for both parties!  :P

The folks over ------> THERE say "Muck" while the folks over <------ HERE say something very similar but with the letter "F" at the begging.

But if used in conjunction with this monolithic piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---,  then it really doesn't matter as the creator has already "M" or "F" + ucked it up already!
