If you have played Guitar Hero you may understand this project, if you haven't you may not...and are REALLY missing out.
My friends and I grew up in the peak of the 80's Metal era and GH definitely caters to our generation. As a result this game series quickly left everything else in my arcade room collecting dust. I knew I had to take it to the next level..but how?
After some thought (and a few shots of JD) I decided there was only one thing to do...build a cabinet around it!
And here is the result. It's a takeoff of one of the most iconic symbols of Heavy Metal...the mighty Marshall Stack
The cabinet is actually 3 cabinets that can be separated for transporting, if there's a better party somewhere.
The 3 are..
The Bottom -houses the heavy-hittin' Logitech Z2300 Sub and my PS2 with all the Guitar Hero titles loaded on the HD
The Center -is the 27" flat-screen Toshiba CRT TV
The Head -has the Logitech L/R speakers and a backlit GH marquee
Most of the parts used are actual Marshall pieces purchased from an online Amp Parts store.
Now if you'll excuse me.. I've got some shreddin' to do.
