Is there such a cabinet as this?
Tiger-Heli:
You might consider a cocktail cabinet. The nice thing is it could look like an arcade game, but if you throw a nice tablecloth over it, it just looks like a coffee table.
FWIW.

I do like the idea of making it secret very cool...so ppl do no know what it is..oh is that a linen closet ?? ehehe nope an arcade! hehe...problem is the box is going to have to be um...stylish..victorian with moldings etc...lots of work.

A Hidden Door / Bookshelf that slides away! That would be so cool!
Found this company that specializes in building them: http://www.hiddendoors.com/
And this guy who did something similar: http://pervivere.blogspot.com/2005/09/holly-shelf-unit-batman.html

I'd definitely go for a cocktail style cab. I don't know what's going on in the US but Lots of flashy bars over here (UK) are doing like lounge areas and retro cocktail cabs are back in a big way. Even if an upright cab is finished to a high standard it looks way more expensive and cooler than a pine wardrobe.
Total class. No tackiness involved! just needs someone to build one!

Somewhere I've got a bunch of sketches of ideas for a cab based on some Greene and Greene furniture. I was looking at something like a slope front desk (which is like a roll top desk with a solid panel instead of the rolling bit).
All the arcady bits and a flat screen monitor would be hidden behind the slope when you weren't using it as an arcade game. With a little engineering you could set up dual desk tops, one you CP and one flat, so that when you didn't want to defend the last human family (or whatever) you could unplug the cp, tuck it down into the body of the thing and put the flat desk top there to use as a computer desk.

I made the J-Rcade with the idea of it looking classy and more "furniture-like", although mine doesn't really fit into the idea of being hidden. Just blends better with the other furniture in the room. I also live in an apartment (for now, we finally got approved for a loan, so it's a house soon and hopefull a racing sit-down cab... :D) so I had to make something small enough to put away or take to a friend's house.
