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$ :)

Ginsu Victim:

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.
