When was the last time you played an arcade game?

If you want a shortcut, build your own pedestal.  Then plug it into your PC.  Or buy a small HTPC PC, kinda like the one Disolitude put in his Dreamcast case.  The wood should cost you around 20 bucks, the buttons for two players should run you 80, a cheap PC encoder should cost you around 15-30 each.  Paint and primer will run you another 30.  You're looking at maybe 150 tops for the actual pedestal.You don't even need much wood working skills cause Home Depot will cut most of the wood for you.

I personally built something similar to this: 

lol a ghetto cabinet. That's much more in my price range.

Looks comfortable and usable, but it doesn't really give the authentic atmosphere and feeling of being back in time.

I'll be done my pedestal tomorrow.  You can judge when I get pictures of it.  It's not as exact as I wanted it to be.  Me and my dad made the cuts wrong, but it's pretty close.  I tried to make it look as close to Capcom's big blue as I could.
