== Brainstorming ==
 
* Inexpensive PC running Linux with a console emulator <-- found several emulators that can be installed, just need a PC
* Create a wooden box to hold everything, perhaps have users decorate it with stickers, artwork, etc <-- Noisebridge art project?
* Use an old xbox running XBMC instead of a PC? Could hack it to do VGA+USB and run plenty of emus on there.
* Cheap LCD <-- or free even, thanks Miloh!
* modify a USB joypad/stick to be more arcade like <-- gamepad donated, planning on mapping buttons/joystick to keys on spare keyboard
* Coin slot for donations
* Need somewhere to put it...
* laptop station for members to hook up their laptops to the joystick/monitor

== Parts needed (strike out when acquired) ==
 
* <strike>LCD</strike>
* <strike>controller</strike> <-- one was donated but I got notified that there's a USB two player version of it that would be PERFECT: http://www.xgaming.com/two-player.shtml
* <strike>keyboard</strike>
* trackball for additional game control
* PC <-- preferably later model with a graphics card that supports OpenGL 1.4 at minimum, see XBMC requirements

NOIBSEBRIDGE ARCADE

NOISEBRIDGE ARCADE gaming lounge is home of our games guild, Gamebridge game dev and Tablebridge tabletop Wednesdays events, NGALAC streaming multiarcade, Game Table, and much more.

There was some discussion on IRC recently about building an arcade/MAME cabinet for the space so lets see just how much interest there is out there.
