    Why not build an all-in-one arcade machine with the consoles, give each console it's own shelf in the bottom, take a 19" screen from the housing and mount it, have some kind of switch to toggle the video outputs, something like this maybe? Cosmic-Upright-Arcade-Machine_2.jpg

    Thanks that was my first thaught but i ran into issues when thinking of changing games dont realy like the idea of having the cd drives on the front

    do any of you guys know of a way of maybe installing sd card readers to any of the consoles or maybe hard drives i know that its possible with thbe dreamcast and the ps2 has a hdd bay and i can install a larger hdd in my xbox but still left with the amiga the st and the mega drive

    i even considerd making a jukebox like arangement to change cds for me
    ime being too ambitous arent i lol
