Some Final Pics
Well, the Mario Bros. arcade has been done for QUITE some time now, but I never got around to taking any final pictures, until now. Hope you enjoy them!

How much did this cost to make?
Awesome job on the build.
I was wondering how you went about the side-art though. I've got my own Mario to restore, and at this point all I have left is the artwork.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
Anonymous,
It was about $500 for the cabinet plus the computer/monitor (which I already had). I'll see if I can post my price list so you can get an idea of what it might cost you (there might be some corners you can cut to keep costs down).
Dunny0,
Thanks for the compliment. I was able to buy some side art off of eBay from a guy that reproduced it on glossy adhesive paper. I don't see any up right now, but keep checking, it may show up. I've seen some arcade sites sell it once in awhile, but it's usually fairly expensive (over $100 for two). The other option is to have it printed at a local printer on glossy paper and use your own adhesive/glue to stick it on. The image file can be found here: http://localarcade.com/arcade_art/r321.search.htm
Just make sure it gets printed at a very high quality so it looks sharp. Hope this helps!
It looks great. I'd love a price list also.
Great Work Guys.. Looks Awesome. I hope to set a high score on this bad boy soon!
What is the point in making a reproduction and then putting a computer inside instead of the real pcb???
