TelcoLou:

Well:

• $50 for a gutted centipede cab
• $50 for a 19" CRT monitor
• $50 for tinted custom-cut, tempered tinted glass to cover the monitor/bezel
• $25 for a plastic bezel
• Just dropped $490 for a new PC
• Will get a custom-built CP for ~$610
• Figure $100 or so for extras (power strip, acrylic for the marquee, new light fixture)

... not too shabby; not even $1500 for everything .. well worth it for the privilege of playing several hundred classic arcade games in our basement  8)

So far I am up to $21.97 "4'x8' sheet of MDF. When it is complete, I am thinking under a grand.

so far about 2k... i have to spend another 500 to get another dance pad

somunny:

Several thousand between my first, second and current project.

Also not keeping a close tally for obvious reasons...

I think $600-700 and just for controls and wiring, etc.  (4 U360's, piles of translucent buttons, LED's, led-wiz, micro-leafs, the afterburner, hi/lo spinner, trackballs & lighting kits, ...)

I'm not counting tools.  I either had them already, or would have bought them eventually anyway.  (Maybe not a slot cutting bit, but...)

No money spent on wood yet.  I've used some spare bits for prototyping so far.  And looking for a 27" tube....
