Octane 120: Arcade Cabinet Meets Kegerator Meets Home Theater

Mark Wilson — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:10:00 EDT

What more can we ask for? 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.

Because hidden underneath that black finish, a kegerator keeps your beverage of choice ice cold. Two taps (one by the steering wheel, one in the back) and one cup holder (by the wheel) ensure that no matter where you stumble, it's not too far from more stumbling.

And on top of all that good stuff, the system can play any of its 200 (licensed) bundled PC titles, PS3 racing games through the built-in wheel, or PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii games with the built in joystick (and the aid of a few adapters). Oh, and they squeezed a 5.1 surround sound system in the chassis, too.

Priced at $6,995, it's definitely infringing on real car payment territory. But finally, we can drive drunk without all those pesky tickets and dead people. [DreamArcades via CrunchGear]

Kegstand Keg-On-Wheels is Great for Weak Frat Boys, Bloggers

Benny Goldman — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:20:00 EDT

I once had a job delivering beer to bars but I only lasted a day, mostly because my body is built for blogging and not manual labor. If the Kegstand was around at that time I may have gone down a much different career path. This tub-on-wheels makes the keg easy to roll around, has a snap-on—and hopefully watertight—tub that can be filled with ice to keep your brew cool, and a drainage spout to empty out all that nasty beer water at the end of the night. Sadly, you'll still have to keep pumping iron if you want a keg at your next party—it's just a concept for now. [The Greener Grass via Core77]

Tote-A-Keg for the Go-Anywhere Alcoholic

Travis Hudson — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 12:48:36 EDT

Beer, Beer and More Beer—the best store, ever—is featuring this: the Tote-A-Keg. It's simple, yet amazing. This cooler will hold a 2.5 gallon pony keg. It uses CO2 to dispense the flowing beery goodness through an outer spout. The handle and wheels make this device easily the best accessory of any drinker. Take it to the BBQs this summer, tailgating or hell, just roll it along with your as you go from party to party on a Friday night. Unfortunately, the Tote-A-Keg totes a $150 price tag. Being an alcoholic is damn expensive, I should know, my Tote-A-Keg is on the way. – Travis Hudson

Keg-a-Que

I'm almost sure this is as old as my grandma, but summer's around the corner and that means one thing—flame! And meat! OK, two things.

The Keg-a-Que is a propane grill made from a beer keg. This $64.99 grill is completely portable and can hold up to 18 succulent hot dogs or up to 15 burgers. Not sure if they have a charcoal version, but this is one keg you'll want to tap again and again—for its meaty goodness.
