Arcade Machine Video

Here is a youtube video of my arcade machine in action:
Putting 20 cents into the coin slot,
Seeing the split screen for non-cocktail games on cocktail units,
Dying on Mario,
Seeing the inside,
Etc. etc.

My Arcade Machine

I was going to post this as I was making it, but then got caught up in it all and just ended up making it!
This is my new arcade machine I built. It took me about 1-2 weeks and maybe all up about $400 (excluding the computer and monitor).

I based the design on the original Pacman Cocktail style and altered a few things.

Here are some pics of it in progress.

I have also recently added in speakers and a subwoofer inside and also a coin slot that accepts 20 cent pieces in the door. Also, some inside buttons for reset and all that.
