Bringing Old Systems Back to Life In Style

Ben Heckendorn is somewhat of a phenom in geek circles for the insane custom video game consoles he has been turning out over the past few years. He has recently converted some of the newer systems like the Wii and XBOX360 into laptops for (somewhat) portable play.

My personal favorites are the portable NES and and the PS2 portables. Yeah the systems Ben mods aren't as small as say a PSP or Nintendo DS, but they also have the entire motherboard of the original system and take full size cartridges or disks.

If you have an old system and about $500 lying around he will mod your system into a working portable version too.

Head on over to his site and check out the masterpieces as well as his step by step instructions for some of the rigs.
