I finally put a webpage up about an arcade machine I built from scratch last year.

Not really interested in comments on the web design, but feel free to LMK what you think of the arcade machine.

Nice job... something I've always wanted to do.

It was a lot of fun to do. I had no woodworking or electronics experience, aside from working on computers, and it wasn't too hard. Took a lot of time, though.

Have you ever tried building up a old school Frogger?

Not tried anything like that yet. Frogger is awesome, though! I love playing it on my arcade cabinet.

Any ideas on how to integrate a "coin op" power supply or "coin op" monitor so that you can put one of these puppies to work for you?

They're fairly easily integrated, but since the games on there are mostly not strictly legal, making money off of them would not be a great idea.
Plus friends tend to get irritated if they have to pay to play all those great games.
BTW, I added a USB steering wheel this weekend. It was on clearance at Wal Mart for only $25. Nice deal!
