I have a spare 30" flat screen (not lcd, it's crt) or a 32" wega that I can use. Mainly looking to build for my nephew a badass gaming platform. Don't care for the size either.
Any DIY websites out there you know of? a picture at least??

i have tools (saw table, jig saw, router, airguns etc..) and don't mind spending a bit on this.

BTW, this will mainly be plug and play, no emulators or anything since my nephew is too young too appreciate old school games (plus he likes the graphics of the newer gaming systems).

:edit:

i'm thinking of something like this

but with the top and back somewhat covered up, so there's surround sound and the top can house some neon lights and whatnots
