I agree with you as well. This is not a plug for my arcade in a box in anyway. However, if you did buy and aiab at 1200 with the pc in it (a 1200mhz, 256mb ram mind you), you could then build a cabinet around that for the cost of wood, screws etc... When I saw their prices, I was amazed, and the fact that they say it costs less than parts is very pathetic.
: I was in r.g.v.a.c and someone was talking about hanahos full size mame cab....talking about what a ripoff it was!
: Unbelievable!!! $4000!!!
: What makes it sickening is they say on the website "why build one when you can have one for less than the cost of the parts"....what a joke and a scam.
: And the final kicker is that is comes with a 600mhz computer....what the hell is that for....I have more power in my digital watch!!!
: It sickens me to see big companys like hanaho rip people off like that! I wonder how many unsuspecting suckers they got with that!!!
: You could built that thing for under $1500
: The computer is worth about $400
: And the monitor and parts for that cab could be obtained for under $1100
: and these are very generously high prices!!!
