I'll agree with you that it's definitely NOT cheaper. There are those of us though who aren't good with carpentry and don't have a workshop filled with power equipment. Browsing the links from this website, I've seen some very professional home built cabinets and I've seen some that were pretty rough. If I'd been ambitious enough to attempt to build it myself, I'd have ended up with something that wasn't terribly polished. I opted to buy a Hanaho cabinet and I'm very pleased. By the way, they sell the cabinet without the PC for $1,000 less
: 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!!!
