How much will this cost?
paigeoliver:
A cabinet can be done as cheap as $100 and there is no maximum price.
Here is the current running total on what Artic Mini Mame has cost me.
$17 Cabinet (not actual money, I parted a video poker that cost me $50, and the boards I traded for this cabinet, the monitor I traded for something else, and the cab I kept, so I figured this cab cost me 1/3rd of what I paid for the video poker machine).
$75 Monitor (21" KDS pixeltouch monitor in industrial frame)
$1 two microswitches to fix joystick on cabinet.
$3 joystick for joystick hack
.75 cents keyboard and speakers (from garage sale).
$35 computer (got through multiple trades, but this is basically my out of pocket cost including shipping).
$13 Circular saw that I needed to mount the new monitor. (I split the $40 price tag between the 3 projects I needed the saw for).
Grand total.
$144.75 and I got to keep a nice metal coin enclosure, a linear power supply and an isolation transformer.
