Yikes! And I thought I was the only one with an XBOX driving cab-thing in the Salem/ Corvallis area.

Oh man. Good luck on that $750 fella.
Despite the things this has going for it (no art, dead steering, weak entry, ugly as sin), it does have one redeeming quality: the plexi canopy. How the hell did he "wrap" the top of the cab so perfectly but managed to piss off every other aspect of the building/ planning?
He wrote:
Hand made, very cool video arcade "theater". Modified Xbox system pre-loaded with lots of driving, flying, shooting, and arcade games. Custom user interface – sit down, turn on, and play. Ignition switch on/off. 21" TV. 200 Watt Pioneer stereo with 12" woofers just inches behind the high grade seat. Mid range and tweeter speakers are in dash and headboard. Large smoked Plexiglas roof for others to watch. Base shaker and hacked rumblers rock the seat from sound and game inputs. Exotic wood dashboard. Plays movies and MP3 music. Great as a self contained gaming/movie/sound theater. The steering wheel broke a few years ago and I haven't got around to fixing it. Currently wired to use hand controller (wires concealed underneath.) For more info, check out the construction blog of the step-by-step details and decisions of its construction at: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=57479.0
More than $1,200 invested plus a few hundred labor hours.
Asking $750 OBO
