Thanks OP. Had one shipped to a store by me for $360 plus tax. Got good reviews from people last week who paid $500.
 
A lot of those games don't seem like they'd work too well with the cabinet. Arkanoid or Centipede with a joystick? No thanks.

Not a terribly pre-built cabinet that one could convert to MAME and build their own arcade machine out of that could play a bunch more.....Until you see the specs, that is. 67inches tall and 21 inches wide. That monitor must be like 10 inches. I stand 6'1 and I know im more than two feet wide at the shoulders, meaning effectively, me playing on that would look the same as those clown cars with xbawks huge guys getting out of them. Not to mention my aching back from being hunched over to see the screen. They should put a warning label somewhere that says ages 5-14 cause not many adults could comfortably utilize that sort of a scale cabinet. And it only makes the price sound worse once you factor in the size of the unit.

I'd recommend the hobbyist build their own >_>

Yeah, if you buy this expecting it to look good in your game room or to have that cool "arcade feel" in your house, you'll be disappointed when you get this. It's significantly smaller than a normal arcade cabinet size, the screen is tiny, and in all reality it really looks dreadful. I'd stay away from this because it's not even worth 100 bucks in my opinion.
 
Yea, not even worth it for that. You could build something much nicer, better, bigger, and all around less crappy then this machine. If it went down to $50, then I'd say buy it.

spec sheet:

It has an authentic style arcade cabinet and 19 in. high resolution monitor.

That was my first thought as well. Arkanoid is probably my all-time favorite arcade cabinet, but it's awful without the spinner. Tempest is pretty much worthless with a joystick, too.
