    You know, I read the whole thing AFTER I posted. Still weird. Looks like at least two people own one though.

    Actually only one owns the whole thing as it was meant to be according to the link.

    Still nice.

    I think Quake 3 should have had some sort of Arcade cab, that game still rules

    Thats what I saw at least.

    I like the pic with the keyboard under the controls, lol.

    I also just installed Quake 3!

    What about HL2 arcade? That was Japan only, right? Anyone play it?

    I've not played Half Life 2 arcade but have seen it. Taito at least made an effort to make it look special unlike that Quake Cab. That looks like some generic stand up thing.

    I had one in the arcade by me. It was there for two weeks. It was one of the best FPS experiences I ever had, especially as it was networked for VS play.

    I was a god at quake back then, so playing on the arcade machine was a blast.

    I read they made something like 15 units only.. damn shame, it was so far
    ahead of it's time.

    The cabinet graphics were so dark and morbid, it was a spectacular machine.

    So the pic they have up isn't an original cab? Since it's Quake I imagined a badass cabinet, the pic on the site is just a regular boring white one. The art style for Quake was always awesome to me. Didn't seem like Quake 4 kept it.
