Title: Re: NationalGameDepot giant nes box Post by: NationalGameDepot on May 03, 2006, 11:35:37 AM HAHA. |D Thanks guys. It took me about 2 weeks to build. I didn't get in a huge hurry though. It is 8 ft long, 3 ft, wide,a nd 3 fit high. It weighs about 300 lbs or so. The lid opens up and has 2 shelved on the inside. The power button can be pushed in, and the red power light can be turned on and off by the power butten. It is going to be my entertainment system for my game room when I get a house. Here is a pic so people don't have to search for it. Thanks for all the kind comments guys.

Title: Re: NationalGameDepot giant nes box Post by: NationalGameDepot on May 03, 2006, 11:48:53 AM You know it. I am even going to get a Nintendo Entertainment System logo made for it . I will look exactly like a regular NES. I hope to paint it soon, but my cash is pretty tight right now. I have a huge score of test stuff coming in soon, so I hope to use some of the profit to paint it.

Title: Re: NationalGameDepot giant nes box Post by: NationalGameDepot on May 04, 2006, 10:08:20 AM It is sitting in my garage right now. Until I move out, it will prob stay there. It will be my entertainment system for my game room when I build me a house.
You guys got me motivated to work on it to. I went and bought some primer yesterday night, and I will start painting it on Monday or Tuesday. It will be a pain in the ass to paint I have a feeling though. ~~NGD Title: Re: NationalGameDepot  giant nes box Post by: atari_wizard on May 04, 2006, 10:23:55 AM Nice work on the NES box! that looks really great. please keep us updated on it, as I would like to see pics as your project progresses.

Title: Re: NationalGameDepot giant nes box Post by: NationalGameDepot on October 04, 2006, 11:35:00 PM Hey guys, sorry to bring up an very old topic but I thought some of you might want to see how it is coming along. I had added several pics of it to my website. It has already been featured on several gaming sites and my site has gotten tons of hits in the last few days. Take a look and sign my guestbook too. Take care

And no need to say sorry about bring back an old thread. Title: Re: NationalGameDepot  giant nes box Post by: Fuyukaze on October 06, 2006, 04:09:05 PM Very nice work. I must admit a few things ran thru my head on seeing it. First, I wondered how many games it could store, second, I wondered how many games I could stack ON it. Third, how much did it cost in total to make. With a few mods, I think it could store even more stuff. That said, with a weight of 300lbs already I cant imagine storing an entire collection in it to be a good idea unless you had it in a room with a good foundation.
Title: Re: NationalGameDepot giant nes box Post by: NationalGameDepot on October 06, 2006, 05:55:57 PM Thanks guys. I got the logos in today. A guy from Vancover WA sent them to me for free. His company called Techjet made them for free. I will have pics of them up later this evening. Really looking good now, the logos make the difference.
To answer Fuyukaze questions. I have about $350 in it tops, probably less than that in fact. I plan to put all my game consoles inside the NES, cause there is no way it would hold even half my games. I am just glad it put wheels on it, it was a bitch to move before I done that. The 6 wheels are a dream now. Check out the new pics later this evening, she looks sexy now. ~~NGD edit---100th post :slick: |
