Finally after a couple months of work, the lowest level of our house is now a dedicated arcade room! Not huge by any means. About 12 by 25. I figure i can get 16-18 games comfortably in there. Games will be coming down soon, but wanted to show the pics of the room before the games and wall decor get put on. The stripes were a pain in the ass, but turned out great in the end!

Inspired by this game? (took me way too long to make the connection ...)

I was going to do stripes too, almost the same thing that you did... Looks awesome!!! How did you do the stripes? Just mask and paint or are they a vinyl? Looks awesome either way.
 
No, you can just call it stage 1 or something. I started small and then moved the washer and dryer. Then I moved some games along the wall. I just might move the washer and dryer upstairs.
 
I want to do this in my basement but don't really know where to start.

Are there any frame/wiring tutorials?

I don't wanna pay a buttload of $$$ for someone else to do it.
