Poor man's Arcade: Built in a Minute

When this baby hits 88 degrees an hour you're going to see some serious ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.  :lol

Hi all a quick arcade i built over a few weeks of software preparing and such, fitting the components, the actual putting together took a few minutes at most.

It is an old nightstand i made holes in with a hammer and screwdriver and grip thongs, i just broke the wood off till there was a hole big enough  :lol
Old I5 hexcore with Club 3D Radeon R9 280X royalQueen 16GB RAM, i spent like 30 bucks on it.
Fairly new free TV from a friend.
Old Xarcade Tankstick
And a himalayan salt lamp, no fancy marquees for me too expensive  :lol

Software: CoinOps Ultimate Max
With the software Xoutput to convert the old Xarcade to Xinput, < lot of ex's  :lol

Anyway although it is crappy it is good enough for me now, maybe i will put all that stuff in a real cab but for now good enough, just wanted to share.  :cheers:
