I built a stand up retro arcade machine a few years back with some spare parts and wood I had. I never finished making it look “pretty” but tye functionality was there.

Here’s the thing, I kept it in the garage and because of that it wasn’t in the most super convenient location. It barely got used. But it sure took up a lot of space. I was ready to take it apart but my interests have switched to building something else and with that change I’m using the cabinet as a monitor stand instead.
