Be sure to take a stroll down the street that Linux cafe is on - it's DIY (do it yourself) street, my favorite part of Akihabara.  Be sure to check out the Junk Garage at the other end of that stretch - good place to pick up an old CAT scan machine, antique video equipment or perhaps a dozen pairs of cheap headphones for 10 yen...
 
It's just around the corner from Tokyo Mitsubishi Bank... (see below)

I've been using Tokyo Mitsubishi bank for years.  Never a problem.
They even let me sign up while I was still on a tourist visa.
I've heard that it's the most Gaijin-friendly of the Japanese banks. (But of course, they don't take checks for deposit...)
