Arcade cabinets as server racks

Has anyone converted an arcade cabinet into a server rack cage? I am seeing this done online per Google searches. This could be beneficial for using the open space inside the full size standup arcade cabinet and the cooling of not having the computers enclosed in a closet. Replacing case fans in the racks with quite fans and lining the inside if the cabinet with sound dampening materials would be recommended. Another benefit to this is the computer running arcade machine could be running and ready to play anytime if it's build into one of the systems in the rack, such as a local account on the NAS machine without have any access to the user files on the NAS.

 

I am considering doing this rebuilding my current arcade cabinet into a server rack cabinet to consolidate my routers and servers into one location.
