What we started with

 

The one with the red marquee is ours

What can I say the price was right (free)

Down in the basement. After a little contact paper and paint help, also ditched the old metal control panel, to hard to drill big holes into.

My small helper vacuuming out the insides,  the monitor is temporarily mounted.

Setting up the computer, it's a Toshiba, only a 200mhz box, but it was kicking around. Used Win98 Lite to take some of the Windows bloat out.

Computer is ready to roll.

Mounting the interconnect PCB. The flat ribbon is an IDE drive cable.

The wife really liked me doing this in the middle of the living room.

Starting to wire it up, notice I re-thought the number of buttons more were ordered.

Attached to a MK64 encoder board, keep in mind key repeat doesn't work like you think it does with this board.

The monitor is now permanently mounted

The control panel is installed, I put all the extra config buttons under the panel.

The computer is ready to go in and we're ready to close it up

Reaping the rewards.

As if I'll ever get any play time now.
