My daughter and I built a home arcade cabinet from scratch. Put a personal computer inside of it and use the software called MAME to run old arcade games. Mame software allows you to play 4000+ real arcade games on your computer.

Link below shows a few construction photos. It's a blast! We built two cabinets and gave one to my sister-in-law for christmas. My daughter did actually help me with the construction and she designed the marquee image that is on the top of the cabinet.
