Uplift Floaty Mirror: It’s Like a DeLorean in Your Bathroom
6:40AM Matt Buchanan | Swinging bathroom mirrors can bash your face in and spray blood everywhere, making the morning cleanup worse than just whiskers. The Uplift floats upward and has six powered outlets, plus a TV mount. [Robern] More »

Dutch Arcade Cabinet Carved From a Tree
12:00AM Dan Nosowitz | Looks like “boom” means “tree” in Dutch, rhyming with foam rather than broom, but this is still a pretty sweet art piece. Check out the “wiring” on the back after the jump. [Uitschot va BoingBoingGadgets] More »

The Xbox 360 Meets Arcade Cabinet
3:10AM Mark Wilson | I play my Xbox on a 46-inch high def plasma, from a comfy couch with an excellent wireless controller and surround sound headset. Yet I still lust the nostalgia of arcade cabinets. More »

Cabinet Built From 918 Tapes That Never Thought Things Would End Like This
9:15PM John Herrman | It’s not easy being a tape nowadays. Your only friends are all in jail, everyone inexplicably likes old-farty vinyl more than you, and now people are even using you to build furniture. This is not how it was supposed to go. More »

Xbox 360 Goes Coin-Op
1:10AM Mark Wilson | While the Xbox 360 arcade is ironically the least expensive version of 360, The Arcade Station T2 is the probably the most expensive…and it actually belongs in an arcade. Essentially an arcade cabinet housing an Xbox 360, the Arcade Station T2 features two controllers, memory card slots and system link gaming (which we’re assuming means local multiplayer, not full LIVE access). Potentially bundled games could include Halo 3, FIFA 08, Assassins Creed and Devil May Cry 4, but players won’t need to shove in more quarters every time Master Chief gets teabagged. This will be a pay-for-time unit. Bonus pic: More »

Octane 120: Arcade Cabinet Meets Kegerator Meets Home Theatre

This September, arcade cabinet manufacturer Dream Arcades will be releasing a sit-down unit that’s pretty much every childhood and adult fantasy we’ve had rolled into one. Built upon a “high-end gaming PC” platform, the Octane 120 displays games through a 10-foot screen with its built-in projector and it will pour you a cold one at your leisure. More »

Horm Voltaceleste: A Fibre-Optical Star-Spangled Cabinet For Your Stuff
9:10PM Gizmodo US Edition | I loved the glowing Full Moon sideboard from the other month, but I wasn’t able to convince my wife it’d make a good addition to our home. I reckon I’d have more of a chance with Horm Voltaceleste, from designer Salvatore Indriolo as it’s a touch more subtle but just as astronomical. The doors are decorated with embedded fibre-optics in the patterns of constellations, and there’s interior lighting too. It’s chipboard and poplar veneer, so though there’s no info on price I reckon it wouldn’t be a wallet-smasher. [Born Rich] More »
