It seems like the number one thing that is talked about on all the sites that have our product listed. It's getting pretty frustrating to say the least. Most people don't realize a few things. 1. The labor involved in building a system like this is pretty extensive. Usually around 3-5 hours for each unit. From installing all the parts, wiring up all the controls, installing and configuring the softare to work seemlessly with the frontend. 2. It's more than just a PC with arcade controls. Though that is a bulk of the cost, most people don't realize that a true happ arcade trackball will cost you 150 dollars alone when purchased retail. Add in cables, fans, usb ports, backplates, ports, keyboard interface, etc. The cost for building a unit like this is more than you realize. Give it a try, quote out a price of just parts. 3. The units are customized for you in terms of colors of the overlay, trackball, buttons, joysticks and t-molding. We prefer to do this and make an original looking product for each customer rather than cookie cutter systems. Thanks. About the price.
