I paid $75 for my Asteroids one, then gutted it and dropped a decased Dell i7, custom control panel, coin door, custom-built riser, and different 5:4 screen in it. I've got less than $200 into it, and it's a lot of fun. Had a lot of fun modding it as well. But yeah, I wouldn't pay full price for one. The original hardware was atrocious.
I built my second cabinet, based on the Asteroids/Missile Command cabaret, for the sole purpose of programming my own arcade games. I put a 13" CRT in that one. I've got two games done for it so far
