The NES cabinet in its finished form! The gorgeous homemade cabinet we featured before, as it turns out, had more work done on it after that iconic picture was taken. Once again, I entreat you to peep the setup, with links to pictures from owner/creator Will’s site:

• Custom Mario, Link, Samus, and even Howard and Nester artwork painted by owner Will’s mom? Check.
• Cupholders? Check.
• Side-mounted pockets for magazines, instructions, and even index cards with cheat codes on them? Check!
• Pad to maintain distance between two NES Advantages? Check!!
• Star Wars action figures? Check!!!

This thing only got more awesome in its finished state. I love how every inch of this cabinet is built specifically for something related to the NES experience. Though Will sold off his games for college, this story has what I consider a happy ending: his parents kept the cabinet, and it now resides in his house where he and his lucky family get to see it all the time.
