Hi guys I found this on the net http://www.mameroom.com/ProductDetail.asp?ID=JUKEBOXKIT and was wondering: 1. if any one had one of these? 2.if they are any good? 3.what software would I need to add to this to use it as a jukebox i am assuming that i just add a pc and monitor to this kit? cheers |

Hmmm...it does look a bit pricey for a small particle board box...(I doubt if it is MDF)?? My total cost so far for a US Pacman cocktail Cab... for the 3 1/4 MDF is only about $48.00 thats about £24.00...& I have pretty much all of the wood now :) Btw...that's cut to size ;) The design looks okay though. Just a thought. |

Iv just found out that with shipping to UK thisk out at £250 thats more than I planned for which is a shame as it looked like a good way to get a juke box as Im no good with wood work. |

Why don't you look around & see if you can find some plans then get the MDF cut to size. ;) |

I used the MAMEROOM plans to build an Ultimate Arcade II and the parts ran about $100 for a 6 foot tall arcade cabinet (I didn't use Formica for the sides as the plans called for - I painted). I'm no carpenter - not even close - but the plans were perfectly presented and I had no problems or brick walls. They sell the cabinet kit for $449 without a control panels which you'll still have to buy or make. The jukebox kit looks extremely nice; I'm considering building one as well, the plans are $25 US which is about 1.5 euros. That's really low and the amount of material involved would again be very small -= remember for the kit you do not get buttons, a screen, or any other hardware outside cam bolts and particle board. You could build it twice (once for practice) and still come out ahead. I hate to sound negative because the plans are very tight and I highly recommend the design of the UAII from my own experience. Now, if you have to buy a power drill, router, and circular saw those tools will cost you as much or more than the kit. So that may be where it all levels out! |
