Is it just me or is there some weird optical illusion going on with that thing.

At the top, the monitor looks like it's placed too far to the left, but at the bottom it's definitely too far to the right.

My brain hurts.

Kill it with fire.

It looks like its 400mm thick

Apologies for bumping this...but it really doesn't get enough recognition. It's a thing of wonder and simple to make. Just lift an old bit of furniture from a skip, slap on a bunch of buttons, and abracadabra...

crock of $hit.
pfft

I actually don't find this that offensive at all.

I would gladly play it in a pub! It would be grand for an old pub to blend in with the rest of the furniture, rather than making the cabinet a distinct feature that stands out.
Although it would be much better if the monitor was bang on centre.

plz no bully

The hinges for the top half are too far to the right giving the illusion!

The classic cantilever balcony control panel design .

CiDeRmAn

Unlike the titular police box and time travel vehicle its much bigger on the outside than the small amount on the inside.
Given what could have been attempted with a regular height trad cab and a normal control panel, and some custom painting, we can only weep for what might have been

Edit: I suppose the CP is supposed to like a segment of the Tardis control panel, still looks like sh1t though.

Edit again: Another downvote because he looks so damn pleased with himself!

The monitor should be bigger, and crt, given how far away from it you have to stand, given the size of the control panel!

I'm not sure what upsets me more: that this abomination exists, or that Eurogamer wrote a fawning article on it.

Star Lord

It's like someone took the control panel of one of the 90s 4 player arcade games (Turtles/Simpsons/xmen etc), stripped it of ALL character and charm, and got pretentious about it.

Reminds me of the old desks back in secondary school, looked like they were lifted straight out of a church. That or a coffin.
