how much have you spent on your cab?
ivwshane:
So far? Way more than I was planning but it's too late to turn back now! (damn you ggg!)
I already had the wood and most of the tools and who knows how much paint and art will be:o

Where did you get the Samsung 27" HDTV 4:3 and what are the dimensions of it?
I assume this has a VGA input in addition to the HDMI inputs. How do you like it so far and have you used any light guns with it yet?
ivwshane:
I bought it new at circuit city:o (it was $400). I would have preferred a real monitor but no one carried (as in had in stock) the one I wanted (billabs).
I have not tried it with a light gun yet (I'm trying to avoid playing with it till I'm done). And no vga connectors.
While the little tests I have done with it looked fine to me, I would highly recommend just getting an arcade monitor. You will have a much easier time mounting it.

The moiring is due to the camera not the tv.
wbassett:
I don't want to take this thread off track... but could you take a closeup shot of the inputs? I'd like to be able to connect a PS2 as well as a Mame PC.
As far as mounting, I like what you did but I most likely would keep it in the case and set it in the cab that way.

Cab - $200
Controls - $60
iPac - $50
Artwork - $300
Paint, Wood, Tools - $200
Monitor - Free
Computer - Was free, until I upgraded it - $100
=====================================
$901, but that's a rough estimation. Maybe it was more, maybe it was less. I spent a lot on artwork and tooling up. If I were to build another one, I could do it for around maybe $400 or $500. However by the time I build another one, the US dollar will be nearly useless, so make that $1600 in future US monopoly worthless paper, or $120 in Euros ;D
