    I built one about 10 years ago and have decided it's time to upgrade. I'm with you though, I don't really feel like building another one from scratch. The Xtension arcades seem to have decent reviews and are very tempting to me right now:

    Sorry, yes it's just a cabinet and controls, you'd need to add a TV and either a PC and/or gaming console. I guess I read that you were looking for a cabinet and missed the part about only wanting to have to add ROMs. Whoops!

    Quoted from Mudflaps:

    This is what I have and it's great. I use an XBox with CoinOps and Vision, a regular television and computer speakers/sub. Add some decals and you have a decent rig for a good price.
    Shipping and customer service with recroommasters was great. Highly recommended.

    That's great to hear, I just love the idea of them sending the cabinet with graphics and controls already installed. I'd like to do that and then add MAME with the ability to switch to XBoxOne/PS4.

    Quoted from Mudflaps:

    Here's my setup. Definitely a budget build. X-Arcade controls, recroommasters cab and decals and a normal TV. XBox with Vision and CoinOps. I love it.

    Sweet, nothing wrong with a budget build. How's the quality of the decals? Did you have them preinstalled or go with the interchangeable ones?
