Rolando Lopez says:

Thumbs up just because I can relate to the 'prioritize' your spends part. ☹

John Cooper-Browne says:

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

Anthony Carpentino says:

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.

Daniel Grant says:

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.

María de Fátima Palacios Antillano says:

An awesome project and it does look elegant in the living room. Kudos to you.

ThaiGoalie says:

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

mark bullerwell says:

Do u have the plans for your cabinet?

R. says:

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

qwertyuiop says:

How did you connect the PC to the CRT?

Kake Super says:

Did the exact same thing but only for 60$

Electrodude says:

I think 200 bucks for nice piece of "furniture" is not a bad deal, look great in that room. 🙂
Thumbs up!

You probably earn most of the money your wife controls.

Dessin Fredibou says:

Cup of Tea says:

Your wife sounds fun.

Jean-Francois Beaulieu says:

Teun says:

Nice Dude! I was thinking about building one of these with my Dad. It would be a PAC-Man arcade machine though.

NoxieNation says:

What did you use to connect the CRT to your computer?

WillDuhFoh says:

I'm looking through all these comments! So many mean people are saying mean stuff about your wife!

Chadman says:

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.
