    Default Building my own video game setup.

    Ive been wanting to do it for awhile, but today i actually started on my own arcade style race setup. My goal is to build it for less than 30 bucks. I started off with a few simple measurements went to the home depot and had them cut the 2x4's for me.

    List of supplies so far.

    Civic seat
    3 8ft 2x4's
    1 10ft 2x4
    Box of 3" screws
    Cup holder
    2 1/2" Door hinge
