how for $99?

how tall is it?

2/16/2007 8:55:02 AM

I'd rather build my own from scratch

i believe it's the same size as a regular arcade cabinet, but has a 15" screen and no coin slot.

everything you want to know is in the link.

target has them on clearance.

you are going to spend a hell of a lot more than $99 if you build it yourself

no shit sherlock, but I want one that doesn't look like it came from target.

these are not really full size, they stand 62inches when assembled.

They also use SHITTTY components for the joysticks and pretty much everything else and only have a 14" screen.

You can just go to the auctions every other month in Winston Salem and get a REAL standup arcade machine for 50 bucks or less. With a 19-21" monitor, coin doors, and good joysticks and buttons.

well damn.

short machine eh.

maybe my relatives need one.

i wonder how much it'll go for on ebay.

2/16/2007 1:52:20 PM

its like 7/8th's the size of a real one. So pretty close

2/17/2007 11:01:27 AM

Only 12 games? What a piece of shit....

2/17/2007 12:48:43 PM

I built this a few years ago for around $150. Its just a USB controller, but it works pretty well with MAME.

2/17/2007 1:52:56 PM

^nice. do you have a link to parts/plans for that?

2/18/2007 9:38:06 AM

I built this a few years ago for around $1000. It's just a computer with some USB controllers and fully restored cabinet, but it works pretty well with MAME.

^^ All of the buttons are from happshttp://www.happcontrols.com/, and the USB interface and joysticks are from ultimarc http://www.ultimarc.com. Ultimarc is selling I-Pacs (the usb interface) for a lot less now than they were when I built, so it would probably be less than $150 to build now.
