Entertainment idea

Would anyone support having an arcade in the house? I'm talking about a single cabinet with MAME running on it, two player support, not too expensive. Lemme know what you think because I am bored here.

And here's some links:
DIY arcade site (everything should be here)
Good guide
These guys have no clue
Ugly site

Now, a few things that should be discussed, just for fun:
o Controls - I'm thinking we go full blown arcade controls here. They aren't terribly expensive and they would make the machine absolutely amazing.

o Cabinet - No clue how I'm going to score one of these. Construction is an option of course.

o Computer - Yes, there's a computer at the heart of this thing. The computer would be astoundingly cheap, because asteroids, galaga, and space invaders didn't have gobs of RAM like computers nowadays do.

o Money - We could charge people for this if we wanted to.

o Badassedness - What other house has a fricking arcade in it.

Comments? You know the drill.

I was going to make a disorganized post about this... but I'm just going to add some links to the main post. We can decide what we need from there.
