    I'm thinking that this happened in one of two ways,

    Either this is a person who has never seen an actual arcade cabinet, and relied instead on a description, "It's a cabinet with a screen"

    Or

    He made it according to a set of plans but forgot to print out pages 13-15 for some reason.
    That looks more like it was a ps2 or ps3 demo stand at one point and had the acrylic parts that secure the controllers removed.

    What, serious, what are these people thinking?

    A quick Google will reveal what an arcade cabinet is supposed to look like, and why they look that way.
    Did he look for "Brazilian Aircraft Carrier" instead?
    Hard to know, much less understand the machinations of the disordered mind.

    Those pictures are an acid-trip. If I knew what an acid trip was. The colours feel like what an acid trip should be like to ones eyeballs.

    Replace the screen with a mirror and add a wash hand basin... That's the best use I can think of.

    Well, if you could get Afterburner or G-Loc on there it'd be a winner!

    Might need to get the game room floor reinforced a bit too.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Looks like you can play a spot of Galaga on that cabinet while also enjoying a fine glass of port and the feel of genuine faux teak beneath your fingers.

    Stay Classy!

    Ouch, that's certainly an 'original' button layout alright.
