Wow! Best thing ever!
o.O My exact words.
Nothing short of awesome. But 2k... pft, I'll drink a cold one from the bottle and play a MAME emulator on a new alienware for 2k.
Must be a crap Alienware for that price.
You could also not buy Alienware.
any way you can load the new starfighter game on to it?
Only thing better would be 2 taps (for 2 5-gal cylinders)... also it's bad that you gotta reach between your buddy's legs for a refill if they're playing 720 or Centipede or Arkanoid or something
What if my buddy is a girl?...oh, yeah never mind.
my girl wants to buy this, reason #456 why im marrying her.
2.0 should move the tap higher up, and put a urinal in. With a constant inflow of beer you really don't want to have to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes.
Indeed. A chair would be nice too.
Both of you are missing the mark. What it really needs is a retractable reclainer potty. You pull it out lean back drink play and let loose. Your refuse is then pumped out of your window and an automatic tracking system guides it into your least favourite neighbours yard, landing on as many birds as possible along the way to get back at them.
HADOU-KEG! HADOU-KEG!
So you can play Tapper on a tapper?
Ok I will apologize in advance ... I am normally not "that guy"
BUT !!
Can it play Doom ??
But now you ARE that guy. Go masticate yourself
What's funny is that this comment was actually sorta fitting, this time.

Some inventor needs a Nobel Prize. Now, if only Poland spring would deliver something other than water....
If there's an arcade version and if the version of MAME on the machine can emulate the particular system it runs on...
You meant to say, "if it WERE up to us..."
Sorry, I'm on a personal campaign to save the subjunctive mood. Don't mind me.
Hear, hear.
I'm on an informal campaign of _NEVER_ using the subjunctive mood. It just looks wrong. Plus, it sounds too aristocratic-English. Probably because I mostly hear it on English TV.
It's not too often used here in Ireland. Do they use it in the States?
@Exolon
Short answer, yes we use it in the States. Longer answer, yes, those of us in the States who care about grammar use it. If it were me, I'd have edited that last sentence to be active voice instead of passive--and guess what? I did just that. =P
I would pay 2K for it if it didn't cost another 2K to ship it to Japan..
Yes, that's a tear in my eye, it's just so beautiful.
Are those cup holders on the sides?
They thought of everything!
Now, if you were to add the keg to the urinal racing game...
we are not worthy!
we are not worthy!
Not even a bad price, considering.
can you fill this up with coke instead of beer? I'm not the alcohol guy but I'm an addicted coke and pepsi sipper.
How bout just straight vodka.
I like this one better...

something like this was done by someone at my college a few years ago

but a lcd screen will not retain the classic style.
[fighting back tears]: you had me at built-in keg. you had me at built-in keg.
Condensation from the fridge plus electronics = fun time.
Half is post is a lie as he is selling a modded xbox running illegal versions of the games through an xarcade adaptor.
NOT AN LCD SCREEN!
I'm willing to bet good money that is NOT an LCD screen in this thing. The ebay listing just says "flat screen". I think it's just a 24" flat-square tube TV that fits perfectly in the cabinet. And not even an HDTV at that. Just a $150 24" Sanyo TV.
If not, where do I buy a 24" 4:3 aspect ratio screen (or TV). The closest I've seen are some 23" monitors I purchased at work, and those were $1000+ last time I looked. (Just looked now and couldn't even FIND one for sale!)
Only problem with this... joysticks for lefties! What am I, a freak?
This was done years ago by a friend
