Swooped some deals to progress construction of my Arcade Cabinet.

From e-bay I got the following:

Athlon XP 1800
768Mb RAM
32Mb Graphics Card (MAME is NOT Graphics card intensive)
DVD-ROM/CD RW Combo
17 inch CRT Monitor
Creative 5.1 Sound System (with cabinet-mountable volume control!!)
Keyboard
Wireless Mouse






**TOTAL PRICE £100 (£12 postage)**

From a Seller at BYOAC forums I bought a two-player X-Arcade Control Panel. This is a quick and easy solution to recreating the authentic joystick controls of an arcade machine without building (and wiring!) a control panel of my own. Not only did this purchase save me a lot of time, but it also saved me a lot of £££s as I managed to get this at half the RRP at a bargain £50!



**TOTAL PRICE £50 (£10 postage)**
