Looks like a waste of a perfectly good Saturn/Duo to me! What's wrong with a modded Xbox?

so, so sad......what next ? (when PC hardware is practically giving itself away)

" I managed to MOD an old PCE LT into my gameboy dsi + teh romz, coool huh, HUH"

Yep, just a waste of 2 great pieces of hardware.

Well, personally I think it's quite cool. Though, obviously, only if the original console has died a natural death.

Not sure an Atom system is the best way to go, the lack of even passable graphics will hurt 3D emulation. Depends on the level of emulation you want. May be worth checking out if those Matx AMD boards will fit. Put an energy efficient atom in there and you'll have a much more powerful system.

May also be worth checking out a DC PSU, they only tend to go up to around 100W (max I've seen is 120W) but if you can squeeze a system into that power rating they're cooler, save space (power brick outside the box) and are much quieter (for low power systems, the PSU is the noisiest part)

Looks good to me, especially the Saturn one. I'll never own anything like this though but it's nice to dream.
