Curious... What can you do with the hard drive from a video game?

The answer is pretty obvious.

Well yeah :) My question I guess was more of "what do you need with the Hard Drive" ;D

Like I said, your $4K San F Rush REAL arcade game won't play very well without one (or with one by itself without the other components)
For Sale - 2002 Chevy Corvette, no engine
For Sale - 2003 Chevy 350 L88 crate motor.
Either one by itself is not very useful.
Clearer?

Crystal.
How hard is it to come across the other components? I have seen kits available for upgrades, but I assume they don't unclude the PCB and such.

Hard to say . . . the critical one is the PCB? (E-bay and RGVAC are your friends here, but I think it will be pretty hit or miss).
Other components - would help to talk to someone on usenet with an actual machine. I would think any arcade monitor and arcade power supply would work. I think the original wheel was force-feedback, but the machine might or might not work without an exact replacement. Same for the shifter, etc.

Looks like they have been pretty random over the past few years. I have seen some old auctions with PIC chips (whatever that is), shifters, and other things.
I think I will just stick to the usual PC and Mame racers, and see how well Chankast is doing in playing 2049.

It would make an interesting paperweight. ;)
I'll take that Corvette sans engine BTW, if you consider it to be not very useful. ;D

Convert it into the most expensive spinner ever (and diamond encrust for extra bling factor!) :P
