NES arcade cabinet
This is a project that I have been working on for quite some time. It's a custom built NES arcade cabinet that in the end will include; red LED strung throughout the entire thing, NES system grey paint, with black sticker paper detailing, arcade controls, and a goofy looking 13" TV. I chose to build it a strange way with 2 by 4's and 1/8" paneling which is not the typical way of doing it. I wish I would have done it the traditional way, but still being young and impatient, I rushed right into it. Anyways, I hope you guys like it.

That looks awesome.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Re: NES arcade cabinet
I think most browsers have spell-check by default nowadays.
Anyways, this looks awesome. I always wanted to build something like that. Like an emulation console-type thing. Retro Console. RetCon.
