I need an expert opinion on something.

I just found this on cl. I need to know if it's a legitimate price for something like this.

big no. You could probably do that yourself for less than $200 on a conservative estimate.

Here's a few "build your own" links to get you thinking about what is actually costs:

That bar top arcade you linked also has one of those cheesy 60-in-1 Jamma boards. Bleh.

Do you want a bartop arcade? Is that what you are looking to get? If you want a 60 in 1, just find a cheap JAMMA cab on CL and buy the 60 in 1 board for $75.

That looks like a bar top a guy out of Chicago used to sell. Can't remember his name off-hand. If all the parts are brand new I would say $400-$425. Yes, you could build one for under $200 with used parts and such. The price on these all depends on how much you want someone else to do the labor for you and how big a risk you wanna take using old hardware.

Thanks a million, fellas. I feel 10x better.
