YIKE$, I added up my expenditures...

RayB:
I don't know how many of you are anal enough to keep track of your purchases in a spreadsheet, but I am (it's the best way to know when you've gone a little too "ebay crazy", and to chill for a while).

I added up all Arcade related purchases for the last 12 months: $2,325.38!! YEOW! (that's canadian, so we're talking about $1750 us).

That adds up to the same monthly as my car payments.

And no, it's not all for the one MAME cab I'm working on. This includes parts for several cabs, and also includes things like the parts I used on the top-fire joysticks I sold, and includes shipping.

But still!  ;D  I could've gone on vacation instead!

I spent about $140 for the bartop I built.  I estimate it will cost 3 times that to finish my big one.

Mr. Dude:
Yeah... I figured my cab cost just a little over a grand.  The wife still hangs that one over my head too. :(

Chris:
When I first built my cab, it cost about $300 total.  Then, when the Act-Labs guns came out, I decided to upgrade it... and that started a ball of expenditures that's over a thousand dollars now...

MinerAl:
In all, the first revision of my cab cost me about $300.  Since that first version, I've probably "improved" it another $200.

The stupid thing is the $500 of parts that don't go to anything I have in closets and boxes.  I reallly need to make that 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cabinets :)
