well before we can get to far into this
we need some input as to what will this game be,
mame/xbox/nes/or an orignal ?
how many control's >important<
stand up/sit down?
so why dose the op not nail down what he wants to gift,
and then we as a TEAM would have a better idea as to where to go and what to do
until then this thread is olny going to be banter about free/poor
so some q's answered here as to what the op wants to build would go along way

I was looking at a small 2 player bartop.. just mame and maybe nes..but that's about it.. i really like the vigolix style..but a bartop is perfect.. i can build the cab no problem.. i have built some in the past..

oldschoolgamer21:
I built this one about 3 years ago and spent around $200.. controls were from a hori stick for a ps3 that I lost the wireless USB part. 15" monitor and a laptop that had a broken screen.. haven't done much to it in 3 years other than maybe add a few games.. other than that it's been running smooth since..

Vigo:
Yeah, you can totally do most of this on the Ultra cheap. I honestly covet monitors most of all when building, and these days a decent 19" can be found for $20 off of craigslist in my area.

Basic encoders have gotten cheap. Check here for a cheap ($10 shipped) minimus AVR that is used with KADE:

People always toss old computers my way, I bet if you put feelers out for an free computer, something will pop up.
