Gaming PCs
Newegg.com gaming rigs - (sorted by best rating...I think $1000 is great for a gaming rig)
Monitors/TVs
I recommend getting an LCD TV that has a very fast refresh rate as well as a good resolution so that you can use this with your computer. If you do not want to use your arcade system with your computer... just pick a 32" that you feel will go good with your console gaming systems. Which will be most. Here is one I recommend for using as a monitor.
Samsung - 32" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV (www.bestbuy.com)
Mouse and Keyboards
Keyboard & Mouse pack $21.99 (www.newegg.com)
Sound System (what we used in the design for the GameBox)
Logitech-Z-5300e-THX
Currently Amazon does not have any but you can usually find one on EBay.com. If you can't find one there, find a good Logitech 5.1 surround sound system. Used systems are about $150 while new ones are around $400. Try here if you can't find a cheap used one.
