What's so funny. I don't get it. Seems like a decent plug and play CP.

UGH. Lets leave these kinds of threads to the fine folks at KLOV. Not interested in mocking people's builds, or threads that make no sense when the CL ad expires in a week.

$400 of that price is probably for the Quadrophonic sound.

The thing is, the concept's pretty cool.  But extremely poorly executed.

Now, the ECON's a work of art representation of that concept -- http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepecon.htm (http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepecon.htm)

I hope that thing uses an SSD and that those speakers are shielded.  Having a sub like that internally could have some Bad Vibrations if you catch my drift.

I've never known this forum to be above poking fun at hideous builds. 
Its all in good fun.

I'm glad there is at least a computer in there, because next to a tank stick, this thing would look like an aircraft carrier stick. I'm sure this will serve it's purpose, sell.

Check the back...there is a sub on it. Only control panel on the block with 5.1 audio.

Looks like a converted tank stick With that flat CP you can get from X Arcade.

$500 is a bit steep, but depends on the hardware inside.

Is it worth the risk for the added problem of selling copyrighted ROM products on Craigslist.....

It's just a junior high art project, based off of Arcade-in-a-box, and poorly designed.
