If you go all out with all the bells and whistles (high end computer, 3 screen setup, 8 contactors for force feedback, LED flashers, shaker motor, decals) you could easily be looking at $3,500. If you cut back you could probably get the cost down to $2,500 with just the cabinet (if you build it yourself or find a donor), 3 screens and nice computer and still have a decent setup. Having built one myself, my advice would be to not skimp on the computer and video cards. The tables are so much more graphic and resource intense then they used to be and the last thing you want is stuttering during gameplay.
