Sx4

Sx4
Introduction


Hi everyone, I am really happy to be here again this year. This time, I am building this one for my wife. She always taking care of the happiness of everyone and she doing a lot of little attentive presents to her friends and family on all occasions. Her devotion for our family is admirable. If I have to do a big project as Sx4 for someone, she is the one who deserve the most.

So, I found a sweet candy machine to PC mod for her.

It took me two or three weeks to make a decision on the name of this build. I finally choose the simplicity... Sx4 mean Sweet, Salty, Sour and Spicy. Sx4 also mean S​​​​​​ide x4 and S​​​​​​on x4.

Ah! Of course, both machine (PC and candy) are fully functional in the end. Take a look on the build updates for more details about the construction.
