It's kind of funny how he says it's made out of cheap parts that people are giving away then asks $125. He needs to work on the art of the deal.

Imo, he needs to work on the art of the custom cab. It's not really a bad idea, but for $125 I'd ask for a little more effort other than just - what is that? - did he just glue three PnP sticks to the control panel, drill some holes though it, and call it a day? :shameful:
When I went to the hallowed 1984 Arcade (http://www.1984arcade.com/) in Springfield, MO last Spring I saw they were (probably still are) running a cab like this. It was Ms. Pac-Man, running on a NOAC, that had been stuffed inside a cab but with a proper stick and JAMMA buttons to play and launch the game. Presumably the whole thing was running on AC as well. Other than the absence of a coin door it was a fairly nice job - good artwork and an original marquee. Something like that would be ideally suited for the home/rec room use for someone on a retro kick without necessarily having the knowledge to do it oneself.

I think this is fantastic. I'm glad that there are people out there that actually think this is a good idea :D

He should probably work on the art of rotating pictures too :)

That is one of the most Ghettotastic things I've seen in a while.

I only positive thing I have to say is, at least he's not charging $1,000.

Well. I just assumed that went without saying. If your going to sell something that's glued together and made out of easily obtainable cheap parts then you should at least play it up a little bit. He might as well have said that you can get glue and empty cabinets for really cheap as well.
