The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Wicked DIY Arcade Cabinet Kits
By James Grahame
Mameroom Designs in Cincinnati, Ohio makes an impressive line of arcade cabinets, ranging from massive standup MAME cabs down to incredibly compact bartop units. Their Ultimate Arcade Bartop Kit (above) sells for $149.99. It includes professionally milled panels that are pre-drilled and ready for assembly without requiring power tools. All of the necessary assembly hardware is included, eliminating the need for expensive hardware store visits.
This little arcade console has room for a 15" CRT monitor and includes a removable rear panel, clear marquee plastic and a tinted monitor cover. You'll have to add your own panel art, control buttons, and electronics to bring this little beast to life. It looks like the perfect home for my $150 MAME Brain project, although their $249.99 head-to-head cocktail unit looks great, too.
