It is a sexy machine, but the games aren't particularly good (I finally got to play one  couple of months ago) and, as Peale has pointed out, the design invites spilled drinks.

Having said that, I would like to build a trackball cab based on the design.

Cheers.

I played this machine and thought the games were just "ok", although my small children loved it ...

I was thinking it would make a great video jukebox.   The size and shape of it is perfect, it comes with speakers already, has a trackball to move around the jukebox software program as well.   perhaps a dual monitor system would be best by mounting a second monitor where the trackball is located.   One monitor could be used for videos and/or lyrics and the other monitor could be used by the user who walks up to the machine to select songs, etc....
