American ideals are such that (ideally) you can do whatever you want without harming other people.
These people are certainly harming their neighbors due to the lowering of property values which, in an area like this, can be an intense, obscene amount of money.
Nobody is stopping them from doing anything that doesn't affect property values, after all. There's not going to be anything happening for the tinfoil-like beds and the lining on the inside of the house. It's just the stuff that's harming other people.
Yes, that will slow down game play, but that's one of the points of gaming machines- you're supposed to be able to run firewalls, anti-virus software, and whatever else you want and still be able to play that brand-new game with no loss. Once your gaming machine gets older, you can simply cut down on the processes running.
Like somebody else said earlier, gaming machines are also built to last a long time. They won't last long as gaming machines, but they sure as hell will last a long time as a functional computer. That's why high-end computers are better than consoles- you can do whatever you want with them. Don't feel in the mood for games? Fine, you can do pretty much anything else you want with them as they have the capability.
I've never had a blue screen playing a game, my drivers can update automatically, and patches provide most often provide more content than stability, making the game a lot better. Computers can very easily fit in cars and can work wherever you find a power outlet. True, they're larger than gaming consoles, but especially with LCD monitors they're still incredibly easy to take along wherever you want to go.
Gaming machines are good investments in general, especially if you build your own.

Actually... no.
It is in a place like The Dalles...
