    Hi guys anyone know where I can source a flat pack arcade cabinet?

    Just the bare cab nothing else I want to just put a tv and add a pacman or space invaders plug n play game , hence I want to keep the cost own spending most of the money on the empty cab.

    Anyway how much would it be to source one here in Ireland? Like a flat back if possible and upright..

    Cheers
    Ronan

    For the price they are charging for a flat pack arcade cab, an upright, you could get an upright sorely in need of a little TLC but perfect.
    I just sold one for €200, and they can change hands for less if there is something wrong.
    If that's the case there is lots of support to be had both here and on other forums to see the cab back to fighting fitness.
    A 60 in 1 little pcb is about the same cost as one of those plug and play devices, and would be perfect.
    Actually, here's a nice one, a little cocktail cab, with the multigame pcb installed, nothing to do to it and the seller will take €300!

    Sorry for bumping an old thread. If i was you i'd make a cab myself or find an out of work carpenter, but if you want to buy a kit these guys are based in UK, and are good to deal with. I've used them lots before for parts, sticks, interfaces and the like. Prices are OK, not particularly cheap, but their stuff is quality and customer service is very good.
