Arcade games + Cold, On-Tap Beer = ARKEG (http://www.drinkngame.com/info.html)

Not only do I love the fact that I could fill it with Mountain Dew, but the brushed metal finish is kickass! If I bought my own arcade cabinet, that's how I'd want it to look. My parents have the Ultracade though, so I really could never justify another computer-based cabinet.

It's beautiful.
So what would you fill it with?

I saw a homebrew cabinet along these lines a few years ago actually. I dont like the really slim design of this cabinet lcd's just dont make good arcade monitors period. Also you can only fit a 1/4 keg in this sucker. I need a half keg at least! *imagines doing keg stands off the control board WHILE playing galaga*

It's.. it's... oh god my eyes are tearing up.
it just needs to be a little deeper to accomodate a full keg.
Fill that puppy with mill st stock ale and i'd never leave the house! =D

Does anyone else see the serious flaw in the design?
NO MUG HOLDERS!

The inability to play games and drink at the same time?

The chance of letting your rare game PCBs get a nice drink when a gasket fails?
I'm sure they were aiming at perfection but they ended up somewhere closer to the worst cabinet design ever.

They DO offer a mug holder in the form of optional drip trays. There's two sizes.

Drink holders shouldn't be an option. Just saying...

Seriously. Cold near hot. Bad. Liquid near electricity. Really bad. Booze near games. Well...ok, that one is good. But this cabinet is still not that great of an idea. Especially for $4000.

You are ruining my hopes and dreams.
Stop.

Feel free to use Arcana Heart in this cabinet.
Also, looks like this has been done before:

You'll stop being envious when you're 21, I promise.
The sleek finish is offset by the not-at-all-svelte format. Tall and unwieldy looking, though still probably a step ahead of most fullsize cabs here in the states.
It has nothing on a Viewlix or Sega Astro City or any of the modern rotatable-screen LCD cabinets, though.
Pinball capability and keyboard, useless except for MAME, and I guess pinball (not sure how that works), but the worst part is you won't likely be able to play the real Tapper in this one, given it's an LCD screen.

That and I was going to ask where the Playboy Bunnies or the Penthouse Pets were.
Think about it:
Playing Pac-Man with a cold beer in one hand and a centerfold in the other....PURE NIRVANA!

Congratulations, sir, you can play Pac-Man without your hands. You deserve that beer and scantily clad bunny.

It needs a real one. Free beer is great when you're alone but when friends come over, have them cough up a quarter or two for beer. My friends finish 24 packs like it was water they were drinking.
