I know we generally talk about arcade games here but I need some help. I am in the process of installing two 7.2" video screens and either a PS2 or an X-Box. I need help in finding the pros and cons. I have a X-box so that is what I would like to use. The downside is the hard drive. Draws more power but able to download all my music as well.Does anyone know where I can look for info and the neccessary componants to install this system.

Rick,
Hmmmm, interesting question. It is definitely possible and probably without much more hardware than you would need to hook up a DVD Player or VCR (just a RCA splitter so that the signal could go to both screens, or if using coaxial and a RF adapter just a RF Signal Splitter, try Best Buy, Radio Shack, or Fry's Electronics for parts).
Your first drawback seems like your biggest, the X-Box does pull more power than a PS2. Power can come into play especially in a car (which I assume is where it is going). However, the benefits more than out weigh the cost of power (if you can afford it). My recommendation is for the X-Box

I'd go with an X-Box a guy on the arcade news group sells them with Mame and other games on them. PS2 would be ok. I've only played a couple of games on PS2 but having all the games built in the X-Box would be cool.

Xbox all the way. Imagine dropping a fully modded xbox with 100 plus xbox games and over 3000 emulator games. Cost of the xbox would run you around $100 and upgraded harddrive $129 plus tax.. 250gig at sams club.
