There's been a few of them built but they are not cheap to build seeing you have to source a barrel ( depending on where you live finding one for under a couple hundred dollars is tough) Then if you aren't near a source shipping it to your location pretty much can double the barrel cost (So would have to be someone near you or they'd then spend another $100 +/- to ship the completed thing to you.) so your already past $500 just to source a barrel before you start buying the rest of the pieces so unless you are really serious and have a decent size budget -- you need to find someone near you (and since you don't list your location in the thread or in your profile would be hard for anyone to be interested.)

Figure from the original build thread Griffendodd list his costs at $415 ( Here's the original build thread -- http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,131202.0.html ) and he is missing the 60 in 1 cost (another $60 - $100) and was lucky to source a barrel near him that he could pick up for $87 and found a $25 used monitor to put in it -- most locations are not near a winery to do that so would be closer to $200-$250 shipped upping the cost closer to $750 and he estimates the build time at approx. 20 hours (probably a low estimate) so getting one built would probably cost around $1500 - $2000 on the low end. If you're serious about having one built and have the budget to do so post your location and perhaps someone that lives nearby would have interest.

Figured it was the guys first post so didn't want it to go too long without at least one answer  :dunno - but that doesn't mean the fun has to end   :cheers:
