Below are three links to items that will be the basis for my "project" if you will.  I love the idea of a kiosk-type thing because our movie theatre upstairs will have limited horizontal space so I do not have room for arcade cabinets should I ever be able to buy / build one.  I also cannot afford and or find something like an XBOX 360, XBOX One, or even an original XBOX kiosk for either reasonable money or at all.  My local game stops are stingy with their kiosks because their employees against company policy take them (or more correctly have "friends" take them).  So I'm brainstorming here at work and stumbled upon these conference TV stand things and actually had an idea.  I could turn one of these into a pseudo kiosk pretty cheaply but I'm not sure what to look for and what not. I have no idea which ones are quality and sturdy.  And I am not good at fabricating so that limits my options.  The sturdier the better since this cannot crumble in 6 months.  

Does anyone have any experience with these and or have any suggestions?  Ideally I would wish it find an XBOX 360 kiosk but that's just not going to happen as I never have good luck and live in a barren wasteland of gaming in my geographical area.

Search all of Craigslist in your area. Sometimes things are out there, but some driving is needed.

If you choose any of the 3 options you provided links for, do not get the the 3rd one. I have noticed that the black/tinted glass is a pain with dust, probably because it is easier to see.

You're definitely correct on the last bit, I'm OCD when it comes to dust.     I check craigslist often and for even up to 200 miles away I just never get lucky--plus when one does come up the person wants too much damn money for something that's not even in good shape.
