The Gamerator: Arcade cabinet with a built-in beer dispenser

Announcer's Voice: Today we salute you, Mr. "I Put A Kegerator into an Arcade Cabinet" Guy. You've found a way to bring two guy-loves into one place: drinking beer and playing games most people gave up when they were twelve.

Singer: You're drunk and playing Pac-Man!

Announcer: Everyone knows there is usually a big empty space in stand-up arcade cabinets, but it takes a special kind of man to look at that cavity and only have one thought: I can stick some beer in that thing!

Singer: That alien stole my space ship!

Announcer: So here's to you: the inventor of the Gamerator. You know no one should have to leave a marathon session of Contra to go get another beer, so you put the dispenser right there on the front of the machine. This is the dream of every man on the planet. From the place you're supposed to give the machine money, it instead gives you a beer. For $2,000, this is a steal.

God bless you sir. To everyone reading this: you now know what to get me for Christmas.

Water and condensation don't mix with expensive arcade PCBs (unless you want to throw your hard-earned $$$ down the drain, be my guest)... ^_~
