I'm a aging nerd and over the years continued to loose interest for the current gen and continued growing interest in retro and arcade games.

It is nog something I'll achieve short term, but I'd love to get a authentic 80's looking arcade cabinet with just a consumer Dreamcast inside. since that machine has a lot of very good home versions of arcade games, from NAOMI games they are perfect arcade ports since it is the same hardware.

For now the issue seems to be getting vector/illustrator art from a lot of arcade dreamcast titles for the side panels(because of the really large printing surface) and finding a proper large old fashioned vga crt monitor, I probably need to hit thrift stores more.

However, a authentic looking arcade cabinet with just a consumer Dreamcast inside would be awesome, it would beed to be with a old fashioned crt monitor with the VGA box, but with the VGA box modded to also play at 15khz for non noami games for some nice authentic scanlines (though noami games will just play at 480i instead of 240p). This feels at least more authentic for a single arcade cabinet with as many arcade games without getting a mamebox, which just feels slightly off.

I hope to read more of here from fellow arcade enthousiasts and how to make sure to maintain our lovely hardware.
