Nice for that price. I just saying paying too much isn't worth to mod one. For $75 (or more less) and it have a light up marquee hell yeah I would mod it. Slap my PC and my rotation screen (maybe 3 screens) in the cabinet. Use both my X-Arcade or even better just use controllers.

You could sell the Arcade1Up board, screen and parts on eBay. Get some of your money back. People looking for the parts for replacement.
