so I finally got around to building My own PC based arcade machine over the past year or so,
I wanted a sit down machine so I bought something very similar to this off ebay;

luckily I had an old book case I could salvage for the wood, similar to this one (except in brown);

I wanted a small PC to run it so I bought an asus ROG G20BM, but could never get it to work properly so I sold it on...
eventually I built My own PC using this case;

nice and compact, perfect!
inside is an i5 3350 @3.1Ghz, 16GB DDR3 RAM and an 8GB GTX 1070, running windows 10, this is more than enough to run the games I want...
the controls are just standard arcade parts wired up to two XBox 360 USB controllers...
EDIT: supersized!
I ended buying some black vinyl to make it look a little nicer;

I also made a chair out of an old table, I don't think it's quite wide enough for 2 people, but oh well...

some action shots;


vert mode;

there are a couple of emulators on there, but it will mostly be used for Steam, GoG etc.

off to play for a bit...!
