SD card, USB Storage pendrive

Adaptor HDMi to DVI screen cable
Why/how this will be good to have
Norwich Hackspace already have plans for a games corner. This would be an amazing start to it.
The arcade game cabinet can help relieve stress, give people a place to do something non-working in the hackspace and may make the hackspace more popular.
Similar projects have been finished and very referenced/documented on the internet, making it a very achieveable project.
The project would directly benefit those planning and working on it by developing their skills and their selves.

Comments
Should a 2-player cabinet be built?
This will dictate a higher budget - also the control panel will be far wider, meaning the whole cabinet must be wider too(!)
Will there be many users playing 2-player sessions? How often? Is this a valid design option?
It will mean shifting the 1-player controls permanently to one side.
Can we compromise by adding an external 6-button joypad for 2-player game sessions?
