I know they make countless PC versions for the PC but I actually want a real arcade big bulky metal setup that can take the abuse if possible.

Sure.  There are several types to choose from.

You'll probably want to use a gamepad encoder for the shifter instead of a keyboard encoder.
- PC will throw a "stuck key" error error on bootup if a keyboard key is always pressed (input grounded), but will not error on boot if a gamepad button is always pressed.
- With a 4-switch 4-speed shifter and keyboard encoder, you'll need to ensure the shifter is in neutral while booting to avoid a "stuck key" error.
- With a 3-switch 4-speed shifter, one of the encoder inputs is always grounded so a keyboard encoder will only work if you add a switch or time delay relay to disconnect ground during bootup -- definitely not worth the effort.   

You might save a few bucks posting a Want To Buy thread here or on KLOV.

These are 4-switch 4-speed shifters.

Some of the other ones you might find are 3-switch 4-speed shifters.
- A hidden "Neutral" switch would be useful for mapping controls on a setup with this type of shifter.

If you want to add a "Neutral" switch and LED indicator to the wiring-only diagram, insert an SPDT switch between ground and switch 3 "IN". (COM)
- SPDT COM to ground.
- SPDT NC to switch 3 "IN".
- SPDT NO to LED, current limiting resistor, and 5v.

It would be fairly easy to use an Arduino for a 3-switch shifter gamepad encoder.
- I don't recall if anyone has already done a sketch for this type of shifter.   

I could also develop the arduino code if of any interest for someone, just for reference

Hi,
I advice you my dedicated to arcade cab shifter H4 and sequential (H6 is now no available).
It's assembly with many aluminum parts and printed ABS so it reproduce a very duty felling
