MacGyver:
Like mgb said, if you go with a new LCD, there will be no real wiring involved. It will be more of a woodworking project (look up VESA mount LCD). If you can hook up a PS3 to an LCD now, you can hook one up mounted inside a arcade shaped entertainment center.
The only real technical issue is the control panel to PS3 interface, then it's down to cost, somewhere there is a plug and play interface ready to be bought for the right price, or you can try to make one by butchering a normal controller (left,right,up,down is easy, it's the analog sticks that are going to be an issue to hack together).
Just get 2 of something like these and remount the parts:

Just don't kill yourself taking out the old CRT (read:discharge it first), if it works, sell it on ebay or CL.

You do not need to discharge a monitor just to remove it. You only need to discharge a monitor if you have to take the suction cup off the tube.
