Great arcade idea but expensive as hell

if it wasn’t so damn expensive, I would be all over this. This would definitely change how my living room looks.

Looks like they are taking an existing wall mounted arcade kit, adding a hinge to a cabinet base.

Yeah, the price is ridiculous. I love the look though. And that Raspberry Pi 4 would be swapped out for a 12th GEN i7 so fast…

I honestly do not see this going the distance. Given the current economy, $1297 is a tall ask IMO, much less the estimated full retail of $1700. But, it is fully ready to go and most people are all gonzo for the "console" experience.

I'd be interested in a flat pack for something like this - God knows I've got enough kit stashed to build one or two!
