Using a game cabinet as an MP3 jukebox

Recycling coin-op game-consoles is old hat — we've seen a fair number of hackers who've put powerful PCs and multifarious controllers in vintage cabinets, then run Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator to turn the cabinet into an Ur-game that can play anything.

There's something indefinably cool, though, about this project, where a hacker has installed a giant hard-drive and a decent set of speakers into an old console, and turned it into a nerd-wet-dream MP3 jukebox. It's the anti-iPod (even runs Win98!), but I want one, anyway.
