The Ultimate Gaming System

Back in 2002 there was a show called The Screen Savers on TechTV now known as G4TV. These guys were real tech geeks that made this one of the BEST SHOWS of its time and I would like to say boooo to G4tv and the stupid Attack of the Show that replaced it. Well to make a long story short, they had a guy on the show by the name of Yoshi who built this six in one gaming system. It contained an Atari 2600, NES game system, Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, and a computer. But in 2010 would it not be cool if you were to stuff a Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and gaming pc into one case. Check out how Yoshi did it in 2002.
