well, actually, I bought the cabinet for fifty quid on ebay, renovated and refurbished it, and made it into this:





It glows in the dark, has over 3000 games, and is a magnet for the array of beer swilling animals who call themselves my friends (the top surface makes an ace pint shelf)

It's my new hobby, and it's great fun.

uhm
if I were pushed, I'd say all in (on and off) one man week in labour, and around 300 quids worth of parts, tops - PC, adapter cards, lighting, etc etc

Having all your own woodworking & electrical tools certainly helps keep costs down.

Considered doing this as a business actually as a few people have said they'd buy custom built ones.
