My brother picked up this Old Nintendo arcade cabinet a while ago, I I'm thinking about what he/we ( ;) ) could do with it. I will easily fit 2 full sized motherboards on the bottom of it, so I though it could have 2 computers networked together with lcd monitors on eash side (crts I think would be too big and put off too much heat, although that was obviously what was in there originally, but that was much older hardware). I have a bunch of ideas, but its definately not going to be cheap, even with low end systems of both sides.

I haven't actually measured them, But I'm sure they would fit AT THE VERY LEAST a 19" lcd.

Coolest. Idea. Ever.

Only problem being that you will need to buy two full sets of hardware to pull it off!

You might want to sand it down and repaint it.
