I believe that is a custom cabinet for an arcade chain whose name currently escapes me ...

I saw that last week and thought the same thing.  Looks like a Doom crate with arcade controls.

Surprised someone hasn't bought that considering the monitor that must be in it...

Yes, that very machine has come up before on KLOV and maybe even here.

It looks like a complete disaster.

And 500 bucks for just the monitor (and the other working components) is simply too much.

That's not one of those custom Oak cabinets from the early Chuck-E-Cheese years, is it?

At the gameworks in Las Vegas, they have 5 of these cabinets.  I believe they are Asteroids, Space Invaders, Moon Patrol, Gorf... and one more I can't remember.

I would take that off of someone's hands, even if they gave me $100, no matter how desperate I was for a part.
