$600 Bartops ??!

Anymore, I would consider $600 top dollar.

It doesn't really matter what it costs to make. I'm betting you would be lucky to sell 1 of these for $600.

Then you are saying there is no market for prebuilt/configured arcade machines.  I can't imagine that getting $600 for that machine is all that much of a profit.  We know how quickly everything adds up.

I was just pricing mini PCs earlier today and it's hard to get a decent one under $300.  Add a monitor and you're most of the way there already.  Or do you guys have better sources than that?  Maybe people just farm refurb pc's and monitors for projects like this?

Or use a laptop.

GregD:
Yup.   Laptops with broken screens are perfect for this kind of build.  You can find them cheap too. Used 17" lcd monitors can be picked up for $20.
