    Now THAT I'd like to see. Would need a massive case though... And much better cable management!

    Why not just stick your console inside a case with several fans and call it a day.

    Or if it's open to the air and not enclosed it won't even need the fans.

    That looks less like a prototype and more like a half @rsed case mod that an inexperienced 'enthusiast' has glued together after a heavy drinking session.

    This is one very strange idea... who remeber the MegaPC?

    MegaPC was a design masterpiece compared to this... but the ideas clever in a funky sort of way.
