Small like a Pi but it can actually do stuff!

Who in their right mind will drop 3 bucks on a limited brick for an arcade cab?

A laptop is the epitome of a "limited brick" for an arcade cab. You are stuck with a fixed size screen, limited power management options and a huge flat footprint. The NUC has a tiny footprint so small you can hide it in the tiniest of cabs.

Here is some bios info on the NUC. In this box I have installed a 64gb msata drive and 16gb of DDR3-1600 ram, running 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate:
First BIOS screen not much interesting...
Here is the power screen, probably the most important when considering using this as a dedicated machine mostly because with these options you can have the machine power on when power is supplied to the box... no need to push the power button. Also on the boot tab (i don't have a pic) you can actually hide the bios screens so that it looks less like a computer.
Here are the windows performnce tests. 5.9 because of the windows aero score.... It's using the Intel 4000 video chipset, so I'm not sure how well it'll handle 3D games... I'll do more testing... maybe throw SF4 in there and run it at full 1080p HD. Let me know if there are any specific mame games or benchmarks you want tested, and I'll see if I can get you a frams count...
Still a 5.9 is not bad for a computer I can fit in my pocket! :D
Generic Eric:
Could you post a pic of the computer?

I may have been the only person in the world who was most interested in the Pi for the composite out.

You can see it in a video I posted showing it booting up:
