Hi everyone, im new to the forums and to all this arcade stuff as well, i want to build my own cabinet but dont know how, and have no access to power tools. And I think $200+ is outrageous for $15 in MDF, so a precut kit is out of the question, please help! |

The power tools? You'll have the power tools long after you cut your $15 worth of MDF... |

Have you considered finding an old gutted arcade cab? You can usually pick those up for cheap, if not free. |

My only real option is to build it myself and i would have to do it 100% by hand, because im not only unable to afford the power tools, my hands arent steady enough to use them well enough for something like this. And i have no idea where to begin, or even if its going to be possible for me to do this. |
