I'll start it off. Buy or build cab? Buy, 1983 Fast draw upright Price? $50 Screen? 19" Monitor Price of screen? Already had it Computer? P4 2.8, 1GB of ram and some 7200HD I have Price of computer? None, was spare Controls? Happ controls probably Price of controls? Around 65-80$ Controller? Either Wiz or I-pac Other electronics? $40 Software or other costs? Will try out Maximus Arcade, if so thats 25$ I think Supplies, paint etc? A few bucks for wire, ends, sand paper and brushes. I can cheaply build this for about 175$ my cost. If I buy the software or spend more somewhere else I'll still stay around 250$. Loads less than my RC cars or XBox 360, or Wii, or my Mustang.... all of which I put on hold while I build this thing. |

I probably put in over $1,000 into my last one. After building a few I can tell you this - whatever you think your budget is at the beginning - double it at least. |

I can't tell ya........ my wife might read this. More than a couple hundred bucks ::) |
| georgemcfly:
I know the double your budget bit, which is why I AIM low, rather than realistically. If i said it'd cost me 500$ I'd spend a grand. So I'll say it's going to cost me 250$ :) |

Though we've had a few threads like this already, without a breakdown of items, around $800. In September I'll get a new PC and bump that figure to around $1,000. |
