About how much would all this cost together and is it worth it?

Answer 1

Good yes.

You have "80GB HD (NO REAL NEED)" If you are going to be using this for mame and all the games that mame offers then you will need a larger drive.

The 20x DVD could be not needed

I see your looking at 1,550 in just the Cab and controllers. If your spending 450 on the computer then your at 2000. Pluss no mention of a monitor. I would sugguest looking at this guy http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-75-in-1-Arcade-Game_W0QQitemZ120187069462QQihZ002QQcategoryZ3945QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem He has built a lot of machines and they are quality equiped. Check him out.

Here is what he describes:
Get a custom built arcade game containing 75 of your all time favorite classic games. You can have the cabinet built in the style of your most favorite game with all the artwork. Your game will be built to look like the game you enjoyed playing most when you were younger. The only difference is that instead of just one game in one cabinet, you'll get 75 in 1. There is a standard compilation of the most popular games but if there is a game you'd like to have that is not on that list, just request it and it will be substituted for one of the other 75. Many styles are available. Feel free to inquire about styles that interest you.
