It's basically a DreamCast to JAMMA conversion system.  They were available in Japan, but not here.  They also have them for PS, PS2, and XBox.  Straight out of the package and ready to go in an arcade machine!

If it came with a Dreamcast and a game too then it is worth a heck of a lot more than it sold for.

i actually bought from this guy, it took 2 months and paypal and e-bay to finally get the game kit.  the seller is shady he said that he moved warehouses and that he thought he sent it out. Not until paypal was going to give me my money back did he finally find the board and send the game.  Good luck to lagames

Even if you can hook up a Dreamcast, is it commercially viable or strictly for amusement? How would coin counting work? It seems like a professional piece of equipment, though.

As a former MGCD owner I can tell you that it has on screen overlays and will not allow you to start a game if no coin is inserted in that mode. The MGCD is a pain in the --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- at least the version for the dreamcast is. Not all games are supported in all modes. Some games you cannot get it to work without an on screen display of a time counter, etc. Only thing I liked about the MGCD is that you could use specialty devices such as arcade guns (modified) with the Dreamcast and an arcade monitor. The dreamcast guns look like poo!

You'd be far better off to avoid the MGCD in leiu of hacking some pads and video.
