I'm in woodshop currently at my high school, and I need to decide on what to make for ym project. So I spent a day thinking about it. I was hooking up my dreamcast to a TV (with NesterDC inside) and checking out ARMCHAIRARCADE.com.

I remembered that I have dreamcast to playstation controller converts. so I can use ether a dreamcast or playstation arcade joystick controller for the cabinet.

to make things short, here's a cost break down
Dreamcast:$25
TV:25 garage sale (I don't need a nice,or big one)
NesterDC: Free
partical wood cost: $40 (two 4x8s of plywwod)
screws 100 pk: $6
surge protector: $3 (home depot sale)
controllers: $20 (10 each)

grand total: $120
MY Price: $54
I already have a dreamcast plus my parents are paying for the wood cause it's a school project.

lucky me
