Built one and still have it in the game room - we'll actually it's half in and half out in one of the doorways to the room because I have it full of pins.
My wife and I still play it occasionally; but our guests just love the excessive nostalgia one offers as you scroll through countless games. I have what I feel is a well layed out Frankenpanel; but, consoles are always a compromise using anything but the dedicated console controller. Fortunately, you can get USB versions of most all of them.
I still think vids are a good addition to a well rounded game room. MAME makes it easier to cram a bunch into a small space and that leaves more room for pins.
A good game of Super Puzzle Fighter II is always good fun... A great game of it borders on grounds for divorce.
