    I had this NES bartop Idea after seeing the release of the Nintendo Classic, especially when they’re so hard to find in stores and prices are so high in the aftermarket.
    Sideart was printed by Joe Szabo from Szabo’s Arcades. Once again, he came through with fantastic work and quick shipping.

    For all the people complaining about sound - I'm not an expert in making videos. This is one of the first videos I have ever made and wouldn't have known at the time how to balance audio. I will be sure to learn how and work better on keeping the noise level better moderated in future videos.

      I was reading this comment wearing headphones and was turning it up, then the saw started and i realized what the complaints were for lol.
      Eh, it's how you learn. i can't make videos for shit either, but you might consider putting a warning about the jarring volume transitions in so headphone users don't blow their ears out. That is one badass project, and i'm glad to have watched it.

    • @DirkMade
      @DirkMade  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      SPENCER HEISLER I re-used a lot of stuff and had the screen already so cost is hard to really compute. Outside of drying time, maybe 10 to 12 hours all combined? There's lots of things to do though if you are making artwork, computer setup, planning controls, etc.

I did my one for under £50!

    Years later and I still keep coming back to watch this build. I still have dreams of building my own one day. I have been hoarding laptops and parts over the years. I want mine to house a 32 inch tv though and the control panel to have arcade sticks with 2 buttons for each player. Your build is the only build that comes close to what I'm looking for when it comes to a bartop build. I want a bartop for ever console ever made and will end up building them, I just need to keep pushing myself forward 😆.

    I just found this video and I like how everything went along and worked out great in the end. I also like how everything is customized. You didn't take any shortcuts in this project and it ended with an awesome unit. My biggest horror with every project are the labels. No matter how careful and planned you are, air bubbles and wrinkles work hard to get you. At first, I thought the controllers would have looked better if they were customized as well and you could have given them the NES look with a printed controller panel. But then I realized that the authentic controllers gave it that nice nostalgic look. Great work and video.
