This is amazing! Found this from a reddit post when I was looking for a cabinet to put next to my tv stand. This has given me so many ideas!

[@james276]

Looks really nice and tidy now:) Great idea with the cooling fans, Speaking of cooling its freezing here in the u.k and that sun is making me jealous!

James 76 One of my best mates is British. He moved here with his wife a few years ago. Has no plans to return to Old Blighty! Don't dream about, do it. :)

This is awesome definitely going to do this. I wonder if I could use one of those touch screen fan controllers so I can actively monitor temperature.

[@houseoftheted637]

I'll be giving my set up a good clean and tidy. going to use small cable tray to tie my cables to nice and neat. may as well make a feature of them :) greetings from UK :D

[@CharlieEdward25]

can u get a little fan extention cable where u just plug them little clips in for someone not done wireing as got a little fan out a sky box and wanna use it on my arcade cab build as extra cooling ?

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Well done set up global. I'm glad you shared this with us. We need to see a Neo-Geo AES unit up there in the future. 8^). Thank you as always kind sir. Anthony..

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Hey Anthony, I've got an AES but just don't play it often. I'm working on an Consolised MVS project that has a 161 in 1 cart with better games. That should make a good video but it's still a little while away.

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Global Garage That's awesome to know Global. Can't wait to see that project become a reality soon. Thank you for the heads up. Can't wait to se it. Anthony...

[@DJAlexUnderBase]

sir ... where did you found the label stickers ? it's any play to buy those ?

[@GadgetUK164]

Great job =D I do the same thing with labels on power supplies and video cables. Makes it much easier!

[@GlobalGarageAus]

GadgetUK164 thanks bud. I may make a follow up to this video as I forgot to talk about a few other cable tricks behind the cabinet

[@houseoftheted637]

I'm also going to eventually get a hydra scart switcher and an ossc :)

[@YNGBLD80]

Nice Vid Daz

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Thanks bud!

[@scribe8630]

Nicely done, the fans are a pretty "cool" idea 😌. It made me smile as I use literally all of your kit; from the labels, to the component switcher, cheap upscaler & modded full console collections (everdrive, gdemu etc). I zip tie all of my cables behind my unit to the shortest manageable length possible but they still look a bit messy when you have 10 consoles hooked up at once lol. My OCD I guess ha. Oh I've started to notice some interference with my component switcher (faint grainy speckles on screen) when using the PS2,Wii,OG Xbox have you ever noticed that with yours? Was wondering if what you said about the scart switcher interference could be happening with my component switcher? All 3 are always hooked up to it

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Robert Beard Yep any switcher you use really should have physical disconnections or be of very high quality. Not a lot we can do about all the cables, just the labelling helps and to tie them together so they don't tangle.

[@dylbob9000]

they stopped production on the xrgb mini without announcing a followup, so it might be worth getting one sooner rather than later with price hikes the usual trend with things in limited supply. But then again micomsoft just could be keeping quite the sell off the older product before talking about a new one.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Hey dylbob9000 yep I heard they have discontinued it, but I think they still sell them on their website for the usual retail prices. I'd only ever buy one from the main site, not ebay or any inflated prices. The OSSC is a good option though, so im still deciding. I wish their was a 4K option

[@dylbob9000]

I had a took to see if anyone is using a 4k upscaler with the xrgb but google is only showing mentions of using the xrgb on a 4k tv. last i heard the xrgb was still the better choice over the OSSC but the OSSC is open source so it could get updates.

[@dylbob9000]

lol youtube wont let you comment before the ad plays

[@GlobalGarageAus]

My life in gaming just released an update video today on the Framemeister

[@bryanadaas5779]

Very cool custom design. But it seems like alot of work/cost you could of avoided just getting an AC Infinity AIRPLATE cabinet fan kit. Their designed specifically for cabinet cooling so their LCD control adjusts the fans cooling depending on how hot it is. Looks more professional and probably costs the same as buying all these parts in your set up.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

bryan adaas You’re right that Airplate looks amazing and is quite cheap. I never knew that existed.

[@adilator]

I have the problem you're talking about, the widescreen on the CRT with my megadrive 1 but I have no setting on the TV to have it fullscreen It doesn't do it with the megadrive 2 nor the snes or any other rgb console I have which is weird.

[@GlobalGarageAus]

adilator Easy fix mate I'll show you how in the next video

[@adilator]

You'll be a saver... the megadrive 2 is pretty dodgy with the crt. the image flickers and there's a faint buzzing sound. Would love to get the MD1 working on the CRT.

[@adilator]

Still waiting.... patiently waiting... :)

[@addition6705]

adilator - to punch somebody

[@bingokemski4473]

is it me or do you seem to have a voice very close with "Tech YES City"? nice work though! :)

[@GlobalGarageAus]

nintendo colas We're both Aussie. Bryan makes awesome videos.

[@keeper7keys2003]

Careful with that sunlight on your consoles.

[@betablockrr]

I'm one for older games consoles, I actually very like retro games but don't call the newer consoles junky that just hurts man 😂

[@GlobalGarageAus]

Oh you mean at 1:04 what I said about the Wii and 360? haha yeah just a figure of speech. Im actually playing more modern stuff these days.

[@medawc519]

That fan holes look just freaking ugly :/. Hole saw is a way better for that.

[@Laura_M-16]

I'm American. When someone starts explaining SCART I get confused and scared!

[@elamriti]

[@elamriti]

[@GlobalGarageAus]

[@honestinsincerity2270]
