TMNT Shell Shocked Cabinet

A snapshot of my experience building an arcade cabinet

Price Lists

Here’s a full dump of the spreadsheet I used to keep track of pricing as well as time.  I tried to track where I bought everything or where you could buy it, and what the cost was. Keep in mind these prices are from 2005.  Some stuff like the PC can be had for $200 or so.  Also some of this I already had.

While the cost may seem daunting the truth is if you borrow tools, and work smartly you can build a cabinet for a reasonable cost. MDF and a lot of the basic components aren’t that expensive, it’s all the extras that get you like artwork and kick-plates, and smoked glass and all the rest.
