ThinkGaming.org - Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and More!

I saw this picture over at Kotaku and I just said damn I want one of those. What I’m talking about is the custom Japanese style gaming cabinet pictured above. The makers of this cabinet have really put a lot of work into it.

“The finished entertainment center houses a Playstation 3, alongside a PC running an AMD Athlon 64×2 Dual Core Processor, with 2gb of RAM and a NVdia GeForce 7950 GX2 Video Card, all networked to his main computer(s) system inside the house for complete integration.

As well as having full media center functionality, the PC is loaded with arcade and home console emulators for every gaming system since the Atari 2600 [note Gerald has skinned Windows XP to look and feel like OS X]. The two Sony Bravia 26″ LCD monitors split the signal using component and HDMI splitters and provide an amazingly vibrant picture (I had no interest in owning a PS3 prior; now there’s a definite itch). The cabinet also allows for different customized joystick/control panels to be switched out, depending upon which game is being played (he stores these additional joysticks away in a cabinet). He even sourced the exact seats used in Japanese arcades to complete the experience he dreamt of emulating Stateside.”

I am very impressed! I would love to have one of these things sitting in my living room!!
