Racing wheel and pedals(logitech driving force gt) $9.99 used
drawer hinges to make the wheel adjustable $10.99 Home Depot (already had)
speakers and amp $15 Big lots (optional you can use tv speakers)
Now that I think about it a lot of this is optional , if you make an arcade without the driving wheel , pc games lighting system (for the jukebox) and 2 controllers instead of 4 it could have been a lot cheaper. This thing is massive but there is plenty of room for my kids to play 4 player games. Also I used some Wiimotes as lightguns and which I converted to ac power so I had to buy adapters and cords for them , but like I said thats optional. In theory i could have built this for $200 bargain hunting and being resourceful
