Rocker/ Case Modder Kneivel put together this ingenious home arcade cabinet by taking a stack of Marshall amp cases and transforming them into a Guitar Hero themed gaming system.

The system is made from 3 individual cabinets which can be disassembled in case he wants to taking the show on tour. Gaming is powered by a PlayStation 2, preloaded with all of the Guitar Hero games on the hard drive.

The top cabinet has the left and right speakers as well as a cool backlit GH marquee, while the middle tier houses a heavyweight 27-inch Toshiba CRT.

The bottom cabinet contains a Logitech Z2300 subwoofer for some serious low-end, as well as the PS2 system that powers the whole rig. Rock on with your bad self!

Brilliant, putting the PS2 on top of a sub woofer…

That’s f**kin AWESOME! Nice work!

Although I agree with the comment above me.. Subwoofers tend to shake.. A lot.

But the games are preloaded on the external hardrive, the shaking is not that relevant.

Just think… with the time and money you put into that case mod, you could have actually learned how to play guitar.

wow… with the time you wasted to insult someone you could have stayed in the land of make believe, where people actually care to hear your offensive point of view.

the shaking could sure as hell rattle your ps2 over and break it into oblivion tho. i would lay it down on it’s side. i think the ps2 looks stupid standing up anyways

Whether or not someone is a “real guitar” vs. Guitar Hero player is irrelevant as far as this post goes. Rather, I think we should applaud the creativity and application of this project. Great, great job. And I’ll bet it was a good way to spend the better parts of a paycheck and a weekend.

what the F**K are you all thinking?
guitar hero… where can i start on this ridiculous trend!?
the one thing i thought i would never see has happened!
A MARSHALL STACK, with a ZAKK WYLDE and an EDDIE VAN HALEN plastic FAKE guitars!!!
why dont you all pick up the real thing? it is so much better.
compare these two… wow i just played in front of 5000 people or wow i just got 5000points on i wanna rock and roll all night?
1 is an accomplishment… the other is a disgrace!!!
someone somewhere needs to stop this. i propose that all real guitarists need to take all of these plastic pieces of crap along with this monstrosity and smash the living day lights out of them all followed by setting fire to the lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! think hendrix people, just not flippin cyber hendrix… all in favour say I

I hate you. You take something as beautiful as the art of guitar, and a peace of equipment more dear to me than the roof over my head, and make it into your little fu*king playground. Grow up, get a job, move on.

Ever heard of Prozac?

Dude, ash your reasonings are a pile of shit. We dont enjoy guitar hero because we think its a real guitar, we love guitar hero because of the challenge and how competitive it can get when you have friends. You on the other hand don’t have friends, which makes this game boring to you. Why do people play any game online, do they think they wanna be a terrorist in real life? Or is it because of the competition. Besides most of my friends who have played guitar hero went to play on real guitar and got quite well. Us playing guitar hero has no effect on whether we play a real guitar. And heres something what would cost more? A whole bands instruments all the bills you have to go through at your first gig and all your expenses, or this creative all-in-one simplistic equipment? You just got served n00b.

I am so tired of this real guitar vs. guitar hero bull crap that people spew around like people actually care what you think. I play real guitar….and you know what, I play Guitar Hero as well! Damn the blasphemy of it all right????

By your logic you should not play Mario but go save a princess for real, its so much better than the saving a pixel princess. You shouldn’t play Metal Gear but really sneak around in a third world country shooting people, its so much better than the game.

Grow up and quit flaming other people for using their creativity to create something out of a passion they have.
