VHS Tape Storage Drive

Not very useful, but kind of fun to watch in action.

From: abbtech

There is lots of technology that gets replaced and finds itself with no place to go other than the landfill. This is my effort to keep at least one VHS tape out of the landfill by making a strange project with it.

Home Made Batmobile Tumbler

Who wouldn't want their own Batmobile in the driveway? Bob Dullam did, and built his own.

From: performanceconcepts

Bob Dullam holds a place of high regard after his work on a full scale, working Tumbler replica from the movies Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Constructed in his two-car garage with little more than pictures and the extra features from the DVD.

And here's one made out of Legos.

Tumbler model based on the batmobile from 'Batman Begins', made entirely from Legos. Has working steering and suspension. See www.minipix.co.uk for more details.

Giant NES Controller Coffee Table

I like this. A coffee table and game controller in one! You can read a detailed description of how he made it (as well as other video game related projects his done) on his blog: www.ultra-awesome.blogspot.com.

From: khdownes1

A while ago I decided I was running out of room for many many videogames and their boxes etc. (I'm one of those fanatics who insists on having everything with original boxes).

So I built this, to replace my current coffee table, it has space inside it to store game boxes etc.

Made from MDF and painted with a variety of oil based and acrylic paints.

And here’s another one.

In case you want to play Guitar Hero on your Xbox with a real guitar, here's how.

From: HouseholdHacker

Website: http://householdhacker.com

Guitar Hero is a great game but something about it is lacking realism. We have found a way to use a real guitar during Guitar Hero play.

You will need:

1. Xbox 360 Controller
2. 4 Wires cut at 2-3 feet each
3. Soldering Iron (or electrical tape)
4. Real Guitar
