3D Printed Mini Arcade Machine
Instructables user diygizmo has presented us with the plans for 3D printing a mini-arcade. You can download and 3D print and paint the parts yourself, or order them from Shapeways in a variety of colors. The fun gadget is connected to a Raspberry Pi, using the audioboard and speakers from an MP3 player, and is completed with a series of fun and simple steps for decorating and wiring the functional mini-arcade. For more details, look over to the full article: http://3dprint.com/22785/instructable-mini-arcade/
Below is a photo of a nearly completed 3D printed mini-arcade game:

You should also mention if you want to make one, you need to fork out $93 alone for the plastic case from shapeways, let alone the parts, this thing all up will cost nearly $200. I think we could make our own considerably cheaper. His looks pretty good tho, it would be a challenge to get the finish looking that pro.

Although I can't find any files for the parts to download anywhere.
You're still going to need a screen and speakers etc. But should be less than $200.
I do have a raspberry pi that I have bugger all use for.
This and the portabe console project are definitely good ideas.
have to admit this looks a lot simpler than the portable console. But just as functional.
And no, if I ever make one it probably won't get painted, or varnished. Decals can be downloaded and printed so I'd probably do that.
But unless you can print the bits yourself - it's too much money.
Plus adafruit sell something similiar - including all the electronics for $120 Just add the r-pi.
