Looks beautiful
Thumbs up just because I can relate to the 'prioritize' your spends part. ☹
Hey Dude, i know its an old post but would you be willing to send me the designs for the cabinet? I'm looking to build one myself and cant seem to find a decent CRT design. but yours fits my build. 🙂 thanks again and great Vid
In the real world….your wife sounds awesome for being on board with this. Considering bills include taking care of four people, and she was like go for it. So give her some lovin and ignoring these drippy red rocket smelling internet trolls.
great video. I made one of my own thanks to you sir. By the way if you do more videos bitchute is cool as a backup if youtube goes down.
An awesome project and it does look elegant in the living room. Kudos to you.
That cabinet is just begging for some actual artwork and personal expression. It looks incredibly well built, and it's awesome to see that you put some much time and effort into a childhood dream project; but wow the ENTIRE cabinet being an interrupted blob of stained wood is just FRUSTRATING.
Seeing the games play with a stained wood frame just looked weird, and I'm sure it's a constant reminder of how your wife made you irrationally compromise with that absurd aesthetic, which in my opinion wouldn't please anybody. Neither you (of course), and neither your ornery wife – of whom I'm sure isn't too pleased anyway with a giant absurd looking behemoth of amateur stained wood.
For real man, fuck your wife. This is YOUR project YOUR childhood dream, and really it's YOUR house. I'm sure you pay the mortgage. Don't be a cuck to some controlling bitch. Make this thing how you always dreamed it to be. Do it for your kids if not yourself.
where did you get the Plans
Do u have the plans for your cabinet?
If you're young, unwed and have no kids…you just won't understand the dynamic. I often say "my wife won't let me do that". It doesn't really mean I can't do it or that she really won't "let" me. It can mean any number of things like "we really don't have the money to spend on this" or "there are other things I could do with my time that would better benefit the entire family". Most of the time when I say it though, it means "I don't want to do this, so I'm going to tell you my wife said no because for some reason everyone excepts that excuse without question".
Amigo você tei as medida pra eu fazer meu
How did you connect the PC to the CRT?
Did the exact same thing but only for 60$
I think 200 bucks for nice piece of "furniture" is not a bad deal, look great in that room. 🙂
Thumbs up!

Pretty Nice
You probably earn most of the money your wife controls.
Frenchement du beau travail après le design est une histoire de gout moi j'aime pas trop le coté lasure bois mais frenchement c'est top déja d'avoir ça chez soit.
Your wife sounds fun.
what was your monitor size?
I must say.
I dont like the finish on the wood XD.
Nice Dude! I was thinking about building one of these with my Dad. It would be a PAC-Man arcade machine though.
What did you use to connect the CRT to your computer?
I'm looking through all these comments! So many mean people are saying mean stuff about your wife!
I think you did a great job. I plan on building an upright soon. Love that people are sharing videos like this. It really helps add to the ideas that others may have. And screw the people hating on your wife. Every marriage is different and there's always compromises to make. If you're happy then that's all that matters.
