I made an arcade machine for my dad (though far from budget) for Christmas in 2013 and chronicled the build here: http://mattparkes.net/project/arcade-machine/ http://mattparkes.net/project/arcade-machine/ I'm about halfway through building one for myself (following the same build with a few refinements).
