The Barcade was built using already available components or those available at minimal cost. The monitor is a 15 inch SVGA that was picked up for $45 at a second hand store.

 

The computer is a Pentium 233 Mhz on an ATX mb with 64 Mb memory and a 2 Gb harddrive.  The sound card is a generic SB clone. The video card is an ATI rage pro which is overkill but works with this MB.

Front view of cab with control panel and front panel removed. 2 speakers and amp are mounted at the very front with the motherboard and keyboard hack behind.

Back view showing power supply and disk drives. Monitor case was left on for support but a hole was cut in the side to vent hot air since it is mounted on its side and the regular cooling vents are not in the correct location anymore.
