Thank you for the measurements I really appreciate it! This is an idea I've been drawing up for a long time but have never got started and I've decided to quit procrastinating finally. The basic design is that is will house 28 consoles, in compartments of 14" or 18" width. Above the consoles will be three TV's, my big HDTV, a 20" Sony PVM, and a smaller 19" HDTV for friends so we can play system link or online games together. I was inspired by Wheezy's build over at Racketboy: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=46422 It will be the same general look except mine will be a corner unit as well. I hope to have it done before the summer ends and will definitely post pictures of the final result. |

Pretty nice. My concern would be whether or not everything stays cool enought in that amount of space. The HD TVs and modern disc based systems would be my biggest concern. Still though, it give me more ideas. ;D |

The duo looks flipping stupid with a huge ass-plug sticking out the side in a case made to it's exact size. ... not 100% what my ass plug was doing there anyways, but oh well, guess I best stop playing videogames drunk.... ;) |

I'm leaving my intellevision out of the shelves for my rig, I want a table down there infront of the couch\futon I don't own, so I'll put it there, since the controllers are so small, and I'm not a fan of modifying consoles if you can't set it back the way it was. same with C64, odyssey 2, and if I ever get one, amiga, since these all have keyboards you use a lot. The Atari 2600s I'll just make sure to have lots of extra length on the power and RF cords, to move if needed, depending on the game. That is one mod I was thinking about doing, remote switches for an Atari. And since I have one with a busted case and a hole in the side, I don't feel bad about destroying a classic machine. |
