Glad to see I could bring some smiles to a forum filled with so much negativism.
I mean come on, if you knew your arcade would cost 1200$ when you planned on 600$ would you still have started it? Or better yet would your wife have let you start it :)
I gotta START reasonable. Or at least make it appear reasonable to the wife. :D

see this is what I was asking for. You've got 655$. Take PC cost, and 100$ off of the price of the cab and its 215$. Its just odd that a 250 $ budget it laughed at.
Its alright though. Like I said, time will tell. If it cost me 250 and i hate it, then its not bad. if it cost me 2 grand and i love it, it'll be worth it.
Still appreciate the info, and laughs.

I think the problem is really that it never ends. Upgrades, cool new features, new controls, etc.
Oh...and
