WOW! That looks awesome mate! Love the play on Pittsburgh! Great artwork and great bar!
Who did your artwork just out of curiosity?

Thatitalian,
Thank you for the kind words. I was able to find the hi-def graphics I wanted searching the web, but Vlad at mamemarquees.com was the one who adjusted and vectorized them for the cab. He was great to work with and I was stunned at how well they came out.

I love the industrial look of the control panel and bezel. Very cool. That looks like a great room to hang out.
Since I'm currently working on a bar to match my cabinet, I have to ask: did you do the bar yourself or is it pre-built?

Benevolance,
The bar is a DIY project but I don't have that kind of skill...lol. My buddy (a construction super) it did for me. It wasn't that bad though. We got two kegerators, a mini-fridge and an unfinished cabinet from Lowes' and then he built the long bar and a short one to mount the tap tower to. The front was easy but he said the hardest part was routering the piece at the end of the bar to cap it. But you should have seen the wife's face when we drilled the tile to put in five 6" bolts into the floor :angry: For all hardware I would recommend kegworks.com Their selection and prices can't be beat, shipping wasn't too bad either. :cheers:
