I was looking at getting a 680-in-1 premade arcade box recently and stumbled upon the Pandora's box 4s.
I really want to get a 2p arcade emulation box and Pandora seems to be where it's at, anyone have any other good recommendations (also whether jamma or mame are better)?
Being a total scrub when it comes to these things I'd rather not go balls deep and build one myself, though I have built a PC.

Pandoras are good but there are a lot of "pandoras" that are shit. I honestly don't know how they even find hardware so shit that can't emulate old arcade stuff well.
If you're going for an all in one you either want to get it locally or through a solid recommendation. Quality ranges from top notch arcade to total shit. You can't just judge by the price. There is total shit out there selling for $250+ and top notch stuff for $150.
Do you have a decent display or are you gonna hook this up to a shitty walmart LCD?

I was looking at these on DHGate but they seem completely opaque. Are there any tells? Any way to figure out the good ones?

I have an awesome smart tv in the living room and an ultrawide BenQ gaming monitor.
I found a what seems to be a decent seller on Aliexpress, I was planning on getting one with Sanwa joysticks/buttons.
From what I can see it's really well made, but is it worth spending 450$ to import it?

I imagine shipping is half the price. Honestly if you have the room for that price you could get a jamma cab locally and just order the box on ali for $30 with free shipping.

Close, it's 320 for the box and shipping is about 130.
I think I'm just going to order it and hope everything works out.
Wish me luck!
