MAKE: blog had a link to some nifty photos and explanation of one person's custom built, Japanese arcade-style head-to-head gaming cabinet.
The finished entertainment center houses a Playstation 3, alongside a PC running an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor, with 2gb of RAM and a NVdia GeForce 7950 GX2 Video Card, all networked to his main computer(s) system inside the house for complete integration.As well as having full media center functionality, the PC is loaded with arcade and home console emulators for every gaming system since the Atari 2600 ....
The owner has gone so far as to import the style of seats used in Japanese arcades to "complete the experience." That's dedication to your dream. There are a lot of things I'm going to miss after moving back to the US, but I'm not going to build my own Taiwanese-style vendor cart to recreate the experience.
