I decided to go with a knob for the power instead of the industrial lookin' switch I salvaged.
The knob will control the power as well as the intensity/brightness of the internal lighting that will be installed in the not-too-distant future.

Feedback?

Here's some more progress from my NES build.

I'll get started on the corresponding DMG as soon as I source some parts.

It's also fully programmable!  I've got an Ion, and I love it to death.

Guh! Mine is sitting in the back room of Level Up Video Games right now... I wanna play with it.

Nah man. This is still a music forum: People post their beats, and get hassled by misanthropic asses *cough*

You scored BIG!

Holy Shit!

Scored this Alesis midi keyboard from the curb in Santa Cruz. It was sitting out with a couple of other things that I would have grabbed, but I was on my bicycle.
Hella free.

That looks like it'll turn out beast!

Here's hoping...
I'm still trying to pick out some colors that'll fit my theme, and trying to scare up a few greeblies to strategically stick on it.

Alright. Here's a couple shots of a fresh build.
Yeah, it's not a gameboy or my keyboard, but there will be a corresponding DMG to go along with it.
Just look at what I have going on so far... you just know I'm up to no good wink

Not as much as I'd like. I have prints available through my DA gallery, but it's been a while since I've solde any.

I took a pair of those Wiimote candy dispensers and made personal vaporizers.
This one's mine... Yes, it's pink, but I'm as queer as a three dollar bill, so I'm entitled to any damn color I like:

I then made this blue one for my buddy that I race Gravity Bikes with.

I needed something to do while I was poor and bored.
Oh! The trigger on the Wiimote is actually functional.

I've been painting and doing bitch-work... and takin' some fancy-ass pictures of my collection for my Instagram account.

$1.99 at a local thrift store.

Huh. Well I'll be damned.
