In Reply to: Re: What is a MAME Cabinet worth? posted by paige on 5, 2001 at 5:01 AM:
What I was thinking is something like this.
Make MAME cabinet for about $600
(Empty cabinet $25, Monitor $200, Computer $200, Controls $125, Odds and ends $50). Sell MAME cabinet for about $1000?
That would allow me to buy a semi nice dedicated Game and build another MAME cabinet in time for the next arcade auction.
I am basing the computer cost on the asumption of being kind of stripped down, (basically an all in one motherboard, processor, Ram, and hard drive).
To be legal on the operating system end I could either use Freedos, Linux, or one of the stack of Win95 OEM CDs that I have. (Does MAME run on Fredos?)
