Been checking them out on ebay. Seem interesting and fairly cheap (under £400)...

If you really want one, they are at ARGOS for £350 Brand new with Riser... But I'll drop my thoughts below...

But to answer your question, No mate. I haven't. They are VERY small and somewhat flimsy tbh - Need a 'riser' so an adult can stand at it. Even with the riser, its still very small scale, with cramped controls. Heaven help if you want two adults to stand side by side to play 'Street Fighter 2'...
If you are really short on space, and looking for something to get you started, and you are prepared to add a Raspberry PI and swap out the joysticks and buttons etc, then, yeah, they are OK for a toy... But I have a full sized bartop anyway
You can 'Kinda' See It, in the pic above
The structural build of my cab is the same as in an arcade - You could pretty much throw it round the room (If you felt strong enough) and it would still work. However, if you so much as leant on a 1up by mistake the wrong way, it would rip apart
