Cab: 50$
Controls: $56.17 (2 Happ joys, 2 player buttons, 1 wrench, and 20 Happ buttons shipped)
IPac2: $46.85 shipped
Have monitor, speakers, wire, and desktop. Cost to me: $0.

So so far I have spent 153.02$
BUT I get ~ $19.80 back from Microsoft Live Ebay promo. Will take a few weeks but it makes my cost of controls and IPAC less than $85

Only things that I plan on buying:
T molding will be 17.99$ on eBay.
I have wood left over from cab project, enough to make CP and fix 2 pieces on top.
Will have to buy no tools, a friend will do the wood work for me.
I plan on panting the cab black but I still have black paint left from a project last month. Didn't have plans for the paint but I kept it anyways.
Piano hinge for CP


SO. $85 + 50 + hardware supplies :D

Yeah, well I have you beat.

Betson Multisync arcade monitor - 0$ (bought before the cabinet was built and was just lying around unused)
wood - 0$ (left overs "borrowed" from nearby construction site)
PC - 0$ (stolen from Best Buy)
Wires/connectors/fasteners/screws/paint - 0$ (I don't count that stuff)
Artwork/t-molding - 0$ (birthday present)
Arcade controls - 0$ (Xmas present)
Cup holders - $5.99
Marquee backlight - 0$ (ripped out from kitchen cabinets)

Total cost to me: $5.99!!!

So where they X-mas presents from your wife or where they from other friends/family.  If they are from your wife I assume the money comes from the same pool?

Oh in that case, they came from friends.   :P
