    Thats insane. I love the idea of a charging wall so everything is just in one place. Also love the change in color on the walls, sure makes everything pop.

      Thanks so much Sam! Yeah it’s so much more easier on my brain! I hate the controllers piling up on docks and this is such a cleaner look.
      I wasn’t totally on board with painting the walls again but I agree, it pops so much more

    That wall looks absolutely gorgeous, and the finish is nothing short of professional. (Almost) anyone can drop a bunch of money on official display stands/kiosks and the like, but there is no contest when stacked against an expertly crafted display piece. Besides, the satisfaction one feels when the job is done and it turns out awesome adds an extra layer one can't get otherwise.
    I built a hanging metal frame rack for displaying some of my favorite complete SNES games, and repurposed (cut, painted, designed and 3D printed marquee headers) a couple of old wire racks from a computer store, one for front facing PS1 games, and the other for CIB Gameboy games. Let me know if you ever want to see, maybe it could spark some other interesting ideas for your room.
    I really love this Power Wall project, so after this and that amazing SoR4 painting, I'm really excited for what's to come!

    I'm not into the building type. Lucky you have one handsome builder. I did have troubles with controllers because there are so many. At 1st, I bought one of those rotating controller tower that can only hope 16 controllers. The problem with that is that I have more than that. So I try looking at game room tour including yours too. Most put in a box, cart and etc. The other problem that most collector have is space. So, I keep digging for solution until I thought of pantry rack hanging on the door. The other one is lady's shoe rack hanging on the door. Both cost about $15-$20. You can buy it at Walmart. Easy to assemble and hold more than 50 controllers. I am able to put light guns on it as well. It's easy access as well. NO CONSTRUCTION NEEDED and CHEAP.

    What charging cables did you use for the majority of the controllers? I'm making a small charging station for 8 to 10 controllers and I like the fact that yours light up to show it's working 😊

    • @RetroRivals
      @RetroRivals  9 місяців тому +1

      We actually ordered charging cables from Amazon. I have to agree. I love the ones that light up and let you know when it's working. The only thing I wish we would have done is made it more accessible to get in the back because we need to change out a strip light that lights up the power button sign. Would love to see what yours looks like when it's all set up. Are you on Instagram or Twitter....
