Hello

I've been hoping to recreate an Arcade PC from the late 90s/early 2000s era. I've gotten the same parts in the Taito Type X2 but I've been trying to figure out how to potentially get it running.
Has anyone rebuilt an Arcade PC (like Sega Lindburgh or Konami PC) using the same parts or similar motherboard/GPU and got it working?
Or even successfully created a version of Windows Embedded used in one of the Arcade PCs?

Those "PCs" used proprietary bios and customized parts. Most games also had copy protection devices as well. It would probably be cheaper to buy a Type X system then try to clone one.
