This is a proof of concept that my brother and I built for personal use, the hope is to make a few of these for retail in skate-shops in Austin and a Consignment store in Longview TX. This example sits on two identical skateboard decks that act as the legs, the reverse side features another skateboard cut in half and mounted facing the opposite, coupled with a wide enough base this prevents it from falling forward. We ran red rope light underneath it to give it a wicked glow, and painted the frame to match, the Nissan Grill was salvaged from a classroom where it sat under a desk for years, I cleaned it up and mounted it on the front to give it a unique character. Everything that came off of the skateboards was recycled into the construction of the unit, with structural reinforcement, of course, which is why the x-box in this picture has skate trucks under it to allow airflow to cool the electronics so they don't overheat. Our next project like this will be a higher end version, minus the skateboards and using some old Lincoln parts, in blue.
