- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21All modern and funky on top, and then some butt-ugly cheap wood veneer for the cabinet. Quel shame.
- fishymusic1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I just had a seizure.
- clownguyx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Once I saw the goomba from Mario Bros. I had to digg.
- TopBanana, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Quit complaining. Maybe he can't afford expensive furniture, or maybe he has no taste. Either way, he's a geek of the highest order - dugg!
- DarthDaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Description of story "It has 128 RGB LED's, 250 feet of cable..."
- rishid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8If you stare at the bar long enough you will feel drunk.
- dWhisper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Somewhere, John Travolta cries in joy...
- candiru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No tetris? =(
- thebusdriver, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Fo sho, whats with the ***** cabinet?
- joeyjojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4really ugly bar with a really cool top.
- fustercluck, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Nice! We need to see this on instructables...
- thediscobar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, I'll admit that the fake wood isn't something to be very proud of, but I'm no Bob Villa, and I DO have a limited budget.
Who knows though... Maybe for version 2, I'll make a better cabinet for it.
-David Worden - SideshowBob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Now that is kick ass! I liked the Pong sequence best.
- Doubledown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4His Blog: http://thediscobar.blogspot.com/
- duster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hope you're not epileptic...
- denied, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Looks like something my sims would own.
- jmnormand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2was thinking the same thing. all the work on the top with seeming no design sense for the cabinet. its a decent cabinet but with a top like that id expect something a little more modern...
- richardiscool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was sitting there thinking "he better play pong on that...."
I was relieved when he did. - BrandonAbell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I find it amusing that his blog solicits donations with "Help a Poor College Student" yet he found the cash to build this bartop.
(not that I wouldn't do the same thing. . . :-P ) - biscuithayes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yes. I need instructions for this.
- JDOG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh my god I want one of these. I hope they make this a production model for less than $200....I'd totally buy one...
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The MIT floor came AFTER, dude. After.
- kazem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes. REALLY ugly bar, REALLY cool top.
- Zero2aHero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2pretty cool, but when I'm drinking heavily and trying to pour another one... that is NOT what I want to see to remain stable.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That would make a righteous backdrop!
- zeifers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i must have this, on a desk, table, or my wall.
- Pentarix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Somebody buy this guy a freaking tripod.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Boom tikki tikki bar, boom tikki tikki bar.
- thediscobar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have their first revision boards, which handle 64 LED's. Because I have 128 LED's, I needed two boards.
I know they released a second revision board recently, so they might handle more LED's now
-David Worden - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5They need one of these on Diggnation. :)
- AdamWillis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1or you could buy one which is even better and that you can dance on with touch sensitivity http://www.lightspacecorp.com/
- rye425, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4It looks awesome like that but theres no way it would work for a real bar. I can just imagine a bunch of drunk guys staring at it all night thinking its an alien or something. Also it would suck for the bartender having to look at that constantly and create his drinks with it going.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why, because Chef left SouthPark?
- lkenneth6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1gotta build this one for sure....
- zmigliozzi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha love it. Ya dance floor was cooler but that is still awesome.
- Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's not as cool if you dont build it your self!
- donaldgelman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ok, first I will admit that I am not an EE, but I do love projects like this. The part that I don't get is why he had 2 controller boards. According to the MIT page, and the page that sells the boards, each controller board can support 192 LEDs, since there are only 128 on his bar, then why 2 boards?
Either way, freaking awesome. - emil1212, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Nice concept, very pixellated.
- TheGalacticFork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I believe it's clear that the only way to describe this bar is, '***** rad'.
- thediscobar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well I'm glad you like the top part. Clearly I have limited woodworking skills, and since I'm currently an EE student, I'd much rather concentrate on the electronics portion than the woodwork.
-David Worden - scbysnx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2this is exactly what I was thinking. I would even go so far as to say it would be a huge liability. The odd thing is I wouldn't think the same thing about a dance floor.. maybe because its farther away from you and more people on it? I dunno
- Kelvington, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Very nice, but does it get you drunk any faster? That would make it a cool bar.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -3/+3I can't see the fridge but damn that is awesome! I wonder how much it would of cost?
- ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jtravis, try this link:

- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Liability? You are a joke.
This type of floor has been around since the ***** 70's dudes.
Wake the ***** up. - thediscobar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just posted a how-to guide! Check it out!!
http://digg.com/technology/UPDATE_The_Disco_Bar_now_has_a_how-to_guide_ - persecuted, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1OMG, rig this thing to play pong. B E A U T I F U L
