Huh...I think this is kind of cool, actually.  The work is all done for you, all you have to do is hook it up to controls and IPAC, and off you go.

Of course, I would never buy something like that, because I'm cheap.  But there are a lot of people who don't want to go thru the work this guy did.

I agree with Peale on this one as well.  :)  I think it's cool that all the cables are already labeled and stripped away...of course I think starting it at 60 dollars is quite a bit more then I'd pay for something like this, but still some would rather pay the money and get the convenience then do it themselves.

I especially like the scotch tape labels.

I could see a market for these at $20 but not $60. The thing prolly cost $5 in parts.

Looks kinda cheap for me, but it can also be true, the guy might be willing to make fast money!  :)

BTW it could be useful a thing like that here in europe!  :)

What this guy did probably took 15 min. If someone's that lazy that they can't take 15 min. to cut,strip,tin and label a few wires then they shouldn't even be building a MAME cab. They should be buying one. If some dope buys that for that amount then I have a roll of *special* marble MAME cab control panel overlay that I'll let go for the low low price of $99.98 plus $59.99 for shipping. LOL

He didn't even put quick disconnects??

At a certain point... If someone created a nice one with labeled wires... quick disconnects... And grounds...  I could see it worth a bit...

but it should... well.... be a bit cheaper....

Wouldn't that be what Andy is selling for the minipac for $40?
