When you kids are ready to get serious about your gaming, let us know. We just spoke with our man Justin at Solomods, and he has a custom-built Xbox 360 arcade machine that he's willing to part with for a mere $2,250. This original Midway arcade cabinet was once home to The Simpsons game, and aside from the addition of the Microsoft game console it's been repainted and fitted with a new monitor and front-loading disk tray, two joysticks, a 60GB hard drive, WiFi, and display and volume control. Additionally, your favorite wireless controller is supported, and if you order now he'll throw in an illustrated owners manual. How awesome is that? Available for pick-up somewhere in the badlands south of Cleveland, Ohio -- hit the read link to get in on some of that action. More pics after the break.

finally, a big enough box to make the xbox 360 quiet.
Hey guys
We value all your opinions good and bad. Keep in mind this was built for fun not practacality. I sit on the couch and play my 360 on my 60'' HD flat screen as well. But when I have some friends over we are all over this arcade machine. In 4 years the girlfriend didn't play my 360 This gets built and she play MK3 with all us for 2 hours on the first day. It's not about the money that's not why it was built the price is just the asking price. This was made to give the feeling that you were at the arcade not sitting on your couch. If you want the sitting on you couch experience then just keep on doing what your doing there's nothing wrong with that.
This is not for most people this is for the old school hardcore gamers.
@Testies, Testies, 1, 2... 3?
Or if they wanted to keep in tune with a retro theme, they could have at least used a 16:10 FD Trinitron Tube running 1920*1080 with HD-FURY.
spend more time on its design please.
That’s awesome! He did a really nice job on the look. Kinda funny to see all the conversions people are doing to old Arcade Cabs.
The price I can't afford? What a sad news!!!These things are all over Mexico (the 360 version, not the original XBOX), and were around US$1100 from the guy I knew when I was there a few months ago. But you also could try in PC and you could convert it using tools from http://www.copy-dvd.org, though not free but have free trial.
