That's what I thought I'd do.

Boy, did that not work out  :D

If you're saving to buy a house, I'd put that front and center.

One possibility is to take an old coffee table or end table and hack it into a simple cocktail cab.

There's a number of very nice examples on the boards here for that.

That's a build that's not too hard, can look reasonably nice in a living room if you're tight on space, still works as a table if you put glass over it, and yet can be perfectly playable for a large number of games.

The rolling cart idea seems great for a projector cart with speakers that you roll out on your lawn to watch movies outside, but not so much for an arcade cab.

Now that project has been noted. its beautiful.... Its not too arcadey so the wifes must dig it. :P   Im seriously considdering going cocktail now. DAMN

Donkbaca:
just consider a couple things with a cocktail:

1 - you have to run power to it

2- they are not all that comfortable to play on, imagine sitting on the edge of your couch, hunched over your coffee table for your gaming duration
