t may not have a button box and it may come apart like a stack of Legos, but http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=98e134951ebd68110b148e1f2397327b&topic=72311.msg745013;topicseen#msg745013 is still pretty awesome in its own right. Made out of real Marshall speaker equipment, it’s composed of three sections, each housing a specific component of the system. The center holds the monitor, the top a nifty marquee and speakers, and the bottom a subwoofer and a modified Playstation 2 with every Guiter Hero game conveniently loaded on the hard drive. Knievel’s inspiration?

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!

Great homage to a game that was no doubt partially inspired by Konami’s own long-running coin-up series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GuitarFreaks. Here are a few pictures (more can be seen at the link up top):
