Juke box question
Marky_1979:
Hi guys I found this on the net
http://www.mameroom.com/ProductDetail.asp?ID=JUKEBOXKIT
and was wondering:
1. if any one had one of these?
2.if they are any good?
3.what software would I need to add to this to use it as a jukebox i am assuming that i just add a pc and monitor to this kit?
cheers

Hmmm...it does look a bit pricey for a small particle board box...(I doubt if it
is MDF)??
My total cost so far for a US Pacman cocktail Cab... for the 3 1/4 MDF is only about $48.00
thats about £24.00...& I have pretty much all of the wood now :)
Btw...that's cut to size ;)
The design looks okay though.
Just a thought.

Iv just found out that with shipping to UK thisk out at £250 thats more than I planned for which is a shame as it looked like a good way to get a juke box as Im no good with wood work.
Paulson:
Why don't you look around & see if you can find some plans
then get the MDF cut to size. ;)
Droler:
I used the MAMEROOM plans to build an Ultimate Arcade II and the parts ran about $100 for a 6 foot tall arcade cabinet (I didn't use Formica for the sides as the plans called for - I painted).
I'm no carpenter - not even close - but the plans were perfectly presented and I had no problems or brick walls.
They sell the cabinet kit for $449 without a control panels which you'll still have to buy or make.
The jukebox kit looks extremely nice; I'm considering building one as well, the plans are $25 US which is about 1.5 euros.
That's really low and the amount of material involved would again be very small -= remember for the kit you do not get buttons, a screen, or any other hardware outside cam bolts and particle board. You could build it twice (once for practice) and still come out ahead.
I hate to sound negative because the plans are very tight and I highly recommend the design of the UAII from my own experience.
Now, if you have to buy a power drill, router, and circular saw those tools will cost you as much or more than the kit. So that may be where it all levels out!
