Boy, did that not work out :D If you're saving to buy a house, I'd put that front and center. One possibility is to take an old coffee table or end table and hack it into a simple cocktail cab. There's a number of very nice examples on the boards here for that. That's a build that's not too hard, can look reasonably nice in a living room if you're tight on space, still works as a table if you put glass over it, and yet can be perfectly playable for a large number of games. The rolling cart idea seems great for a projector cart with speakers that you roll out on your lawn to watch movies outside, but not so much for an arcade cab. |

just consider a couple things with a cocktail: 1 - you have to run power to it 2- they are not all that comfortable to play on, imagine sitting on the edge of your couch, hunched over your coffee table for your gaming duration |
