The computer parts running Win98SE in the bottom of the unfinished cabinet. Specs -
microATX motherboard w/ Celeron 533Mhz CPU and 64MB SDRAM.
10GB hard drive.
nVidia TNT2 (32MB) video card.
microATX power supply.
For testing only I have a standard keyboard/mouse, 50X CD-ROM and 17" LCD monitor.
*Update* I have added a 56K modem/sound card combo.
*Update 2* One of my friends donated an old, but very very nice computer to the project. New specs include:
Asus motherboard with onboard audio, 512MB of DDR-RAM, 1.2 Ghz Celeron processor, 40GB hard drive, and a GeForceFX 5200 video card. It's kinda hard to play Goldeneye from the N64 with arcade controls, but it's nice to know it's possible. Before moving the arcade to my dorm I added an old Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse. That way I can pull the keyboard or mouse out of my closet for adding ROMs or whatever.
*Update 3* The computer now runs Windows XP and has plenty of games.
This is the box the Antec computer case (an NSK 1380 MicroATX cube case) came in, from the side showing some of the info on the case, with a picture of the opened case seen from the top.
This is a close up of the side of the box that the Antec computer case (an NSK 1380 MicroATX cube case) came in that shows the front of the case straight on.
The copper pipes are the sides of the large handle for the top of the case. The brass in the middle will be the backing for "Final Fantasy".

The new board installed in my Antec MicroATX case. It's a little hard to see, but the power supply actually hangs over the CPU, forcing me into temporary use of the stock AMD CPU cooler.

Extra Value Shiny Piano Black/Silver Slim MicroATX Mini Tower Case from EBuyer. You need to take the front facia off to fit the drives, a pair of long needle nose pliers would have been good, the pair I used was a little short and fat... resulting in a struggle. Its upside down and I've already removed the original PSU.
We're finally starting to see decent-looking PC cases. I decided to pay a bit more for a nicer MicroATX case. This is a closeup of the Silverstone "SGOI-Evolution" in glorious brushed aluminum. "Sugoi!"
Just starting to lay out the stuff...

I could easily swing the case around my head by just one of the pipes. Far sturdier than I thought it was going to be!

Strange case layout, it's near to MicroATX size but will take a full ATX motherboard. Notice how the power supply is on the bottom of the case with the fans and power switch facing downwards. Not a case you'd want to sit on a carpet.
I've flared out the pipe with four 1 1/2" cuts. I think it would take far more force than the weight of the fully loaded case for this handle to break.
