The Lego NES
Let's say you just stuffed your Mac mini into an NES case and now you want to play some old-school Mario Bros. 2 or Bubble Bobble. You've got the NES parts lying around, but no case for them--what is a gamer to do?One ingenious Lego fanatic took his love of plastic building blocks and retro Nintendo paraphernalia and combined them for the betterment of society: a Lego NES case mod. Everything is Lego--from the controller ports to the power and reset buttons. Although many Joystiq readers might consider this old (the article dates back to June of last year), it very recently popped back on the radar as one of TechEBlog's top 10 Strangest Lego Creations, just ahead of a full-sized Volvo XC90 made entirely of plastic building blocks.

This is cool, who cares if the original article is old it is the first time I have seen it. This gives me an idea I wonder how hard it would be to make other consoles out of legos?

Really though, this is pretty badass. I want to see a Dreamcast like this.
Hell yes, though I think the disc consoles may be a problem.
