Cost Breakdown to Date #2

Last week I ordered the Smart Strip power supply for $37.31 ($26.99 + $3 for a black cord + taxes and shipping). Today I placed the order for the Ultimarc 360 joystick and a few accessories for $100 to go along with it - it's is expensive but hopefully worth it. I also just went to Home Depot and bought the two hinges ($6.99) and the magnetic clasp ($0.89) for the coin door panel for $8.43 (after taxes). Finally, I hit up CompUSA for some cheapo 2.1 speakers for $21.39 (after taxes). Here's the breakdown so far:

Bought:
MDF: $35.00/4'x8' sheet x 2 sheets = $70
Screws: $5.98/box x 1 box = $5.98
18" flourescent light (for behind marquee): $8.97
Wood support strips: $0.97/foot x 12 feet = $11.64
3 buttons, balltop joystick, t-molding from Dream Arcades = $32.75
Smart Strip power supply = $37.31
Hinges and magnetic clasp = $8.43
Ultimarc 360 Joystick = $59.00 (+$14.00 shipping)
