The Original Disco Bar

Crammed into this otherwise normal looking bar are 120 RGB LEDs, 250-feet of cable, MIT-designed controller boards, and a built-in fridge. Put on some music and you're ready to party. Video clip and more pictures after the jump.

"The bar is very safe actually. I have epoxy pretty much everywhere on the top, so its totally liquid proof. As for inside the cabinet, I'll be putting some type of protection over the controller boards so in case someone reaches inside, they dont have to worry about bumping anything."

The idea is for it to be a disco bar, like the floors they have in disco club. If the pixles wer smaller it would just be a bad resoulution screen. Its supposed to be a dance bar.

Yes, to the people who made this, how much does it cost and where can I get one. That is one of the coolest things ever and I would buy one in a heartbeat

Couldn't have said it better Jimmy. At this point, I'm not selling, but if someone were to offer me like $10,000 I would probably sell it. All in all, it probably cost me around $1000 to build it. David

Amazing job! Well done. [I'm wondering how long would it take to find similar "disco bar" this in stores.]

Hard to say. I would say you need a lot of soldering experience before doing something like this. There are hours upon hours of soldering. The controller boards have almost all surface mount components, which if you dont have experience, I probably wouldnt recommend doing it.
