First thing I thought was Ikea too  :)

It's ok, I guess but the screen's too small on those units, they don't really blend in, yet they don't look like a traditional arcade cab either, so they just kinda stick out, in the wrong way, if you ask me.
Vulgar Soul:
Cabinet design is unique, looks like furniture. I can picture those in a kitchen blending in with counters and appliance. But the tiny LCD screen and X-Arcade sticks gotta go.

I'd still stick to a retro, traditional design over a modern design anyway.
Dr Zero:
I agree with everyone on this thread pretty much I am more a traditional kinda guy myself.

The Ikea comment was dead on LOL  :cheers:

They really though to me look like left over mall kiosk find it kind of hard to believe they would make a the curves and add the nice speakers then go cheap on the stick and the screen.

How hard would it have been to transfer over the x-arcade stuff over to a matching top if you didnt want to mess buying the parts individually, and the small screen I guess was the cheapest they had access to.

Just one of those things that make you go hmmmmm

Just for fun I pulled the dimensions of a 32" LCD-LED TV (Sharp AQUOS 32" 1080p 120Hz LED - LCD HDTV LC-32LE700UN) and roughly sketched up the kiosk in my cad program of choice.

With a 32" wide screen it feels a little chunky.. but I do kind of like the design..

releasedtruth:
Would it need to be a 32?  Maybe a 26" would be a better fit. I'll admit it's growing on me a little over the past day. Definitely not authentic, but does have a retro future feel that I'm attracted to. Definitely ditch the Xarcade, but I could see it working where other cabs might not... Shame he doesn't list the price
