Yeah, with as much time as I have spent on my refitted cab with cp in time and money I could have bought an arcade PC with the time used working minimum wage but its *fun* to build your own to me :) Im working on a 4 player cp with a sidewinder hack but it is indeed expensive...Sofar just the CP is pretty damn expensive for a high schooler...Parts List
4 Super 8's
4 Green Buttons
4 yellow Buttons
7 Red Buttons
7 Blue Buttons
4 White Buttons for Credits
4 Player Start Buttons
6 Black Buttons for Controling Mame
~ $115
+ 4 Sidewinder From Buy.Com After S&H
~ $100
+ 3 Barier Strips a Player & needing 14 inputs per player...28 wire spades per player ~ $50
~ $35 for Plexi Glass & Contact Paper & Screws ETC
= $275 just for the CP. Thats already having a buttload of high quality particle board, all the tools I need, solder, & getting 1000 ft of wire free from my uncle who is an electrician...Hotrod is a good deal plus if something breaks you dont have to fix it yourself...how much is that worth.
