I was flicking thru Trade-me a online Auction site in New Zealand one day and spotted a bloke selling a few cabinets as I have a ½ finished cabinet at home I wanted another one I was looking for another one.

I was not allowed to have one at home so worked seemed to be the next best place to have one.

So I duly shelled out $100 NZD for this cabinet

As you see the cabinet is complete buttons screen coin door for $100 is was a bargain

As it came built with buttons and coin door joysticks now our boss hasnt said a word about the cabinet I just told him I needed to store something at work it arrived one night.

And at this point it doesnt seem to be a problem I have it next to my desk  

The parts I need to build this have been totally on the cheap and I didnt want to spend much money so stuff was free found our if I had to dip into my own pocket (Shudder)

Computer was a Acer 4400 P3 650 10 gig HDD 256 meg ram 12 meg ATI rage card cd-rom and network card I saved this from the bin at work as we are a IBM shop the Acer didnt seem to work (I didnt test it someone else did to come up with the its dead idea)

Monitor is an old thing I found somewhere wireless keyboard these are a miss matched pair I keeped and married them up they are IBM items

Speakers I havent brought these yet but chances are they will be from Jaycar as they are the cheapest people about for such things .

I was going cover the side in a big sticker but this was going to cost me $200 for both sides so I was thinking of using Black sticker as this will cost bugger all

BTW 2 other guys I work with are helping with the build
