Thanks for the reply. I'm definitely open to legs if I find a solution that works. I probably just need a couple of inches, just enough to put a 1 inch tall piece that redirects the vent out from under the arcade. The stand I was looking at gets the controls to about 35 inches, which seems low to me, so I feel like if I had some 2-3 inch casters, or even if I had to do a platform that elevated 4-6 inches, I'd probably be fine. I have a couple of different sized barstools.
When I asked gameroomsolutions about their stand, they advised I might want to reinforce the casters so as to not put too much pressure on the bottom piece. That's got me exploring a lot of different options.
