It should have cup holders, as well as power windows, not to mention a roof rack.

But the dividers are great for between the consoles, for those long trips where Wii and PS3 both fight over whether or not one another crossed their lines in the seat.

All in all, excellent design. Ginormous Blue LEDs seem a bit ridiculous though.

This is a great idea! While I’m not going to build a 6′ high tower, it definitely gives some good ideas to follow with regard to storage and spacing/heat concerns. The controller holder is a great idea – keep those things untangled and off of the floor.

Ezekiel is right about the blue LED fans – unnecessary and distracting.

drdrew: In college, we would have built this out of a combination of empty kegs, cement cinderblocks, and scrap plywood. Very classy.

the premise for this design is very good. the width, the fans and airflow for heat dissipation, controller holders, ect, it looks very functional, not to mention cool as all. reminds me of stoners gamers in college. :)

Why did he build this thing 6 feet high? Was he high? If the shelves were spaced a bit more practically he could have accomplished this with half the space. Whatever.

Its like a shrine to gaming as well. I wonder what the GF thinks? Do i let him have his shrine to childhood in the Living room for all guest to see or let the mess or wires and cables litter the floor and take our first child? Tough choice =)

Next project should be installing a toilet and mini fridge/ Microwave…would never have to leave that room again.

Very nice. Even has the controller hangers. I could do without the LED fans tho.

Wow. All hail the tower of gaming. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh….

The crowning jewel rests atop the mighty tower, new-world old-school NES.

All other gaming systems bow down before it.
