Back in December I got the urge to put together my own custom cabinet. No wife to stifle the manic desire to relive the golden age of wasteful spending at the local "wonderland" (they took Nickels). As a result this was born:

$500 - Custom built PC (AMD phenom x2 unlocked to x4, 120GB SSD OS drive/640GB Data HDD)

$250 - Building materials & marquee printout.

$250 - Vertically mounted Visio 32" TV hooked in via RGB

$200 - X-Arcade tanksticks w/ trackball (works great as the mouse!)

$50 - Coin door (accept quarters)

$25 - Smartswitch power strip switches on marquee light, coin led, and exhaust fan when computer on.

$1275 - Approxamate total cost.

I already had the TV and replaced it earlier with a better one. I also had many of the computer parts laying around from previous custom PC builds and was planning a mini ITX built anyway. So the real cost was more like $525 over a few months time. So it was not too bad.

The real issue has been integrating the software for a screen in portrait.
