How often will you use the keyboard?

If you won't use it frequently, you could just leave a USB port accessible and plug one in when necessary. That's what I did with mine.

If you think you will use it a lot then a keyboard tray of some sort makes sense, or else a fold out shelf. If you just have plain buttons and sticks, about 3.5" is necessary.

If you're still looking, I just finished building 2 Arcades, using the plans for "Ultimate Arcade I Cabinet " and I REALLY like it.  It has a door below the Cntrol Panel, with a slide out drawer for your Mouse & Keyboard. It also accomodates a 25" TV (they are hard to find these day, but we bought 2 a BestBuy).

Here's the link to the site:

But I know I came across a free download of the exact same plans from somewhere else (I wasn't looking for them, just encountered them!).
