I’m no stranger to power tools, but I felt the time it would take didn’t out way the costs of just buying the pieces and assembling. I decided to go the easiest route that still gave me control over the components so I ordered pre-cut pieces.
You have some options to consider–buy a used arcade machine and gut it, buy cabinet pieces to assemble, or just buy the plans and start from scratch. The arcade machine all starts with an empty cabinet. There are many factors to consider–You could drop $3,000 and buy a complete arcade system that plays maybe 100 games, or you could assemble your own for about half the price and play thousands of games. This is why I’m posting this information so you can save a lot of time and money. I only wish I had this information when I started to build my own arcade as the majority of it was scattered throughout websites and forums. In this article I outline every component that was purchased, how much was spent, and my reasoning behind each one. After months of researching and reading a lot of different websites, I came up with an economical plan that didn’t require too much time and the end result was a highly polished professional arcade system. I’ve played around with arcade emulators on my PC before so I knew a little bit about how it all worked. I wanted to build a home arcade machine that could play all the classic video games as well as those console favorites.
