Thats gonna be a big hole in your TV..
It looks like an outhouse...
When I saw the headline I thought Sears was selling Wiimote toolboxes
I totally had the same thought.
As did I.
Me three.
make that 4
Did he build it, or did he just paint the design on the door of the cabinet that he purchased from wal-mart.
I'm wondering too. If he built the whole thing from scratch, then why not make the "-" button the actual handle?
I'd say the former, since I've never seen a cabinet like that at Wal-mart.
Hmm... Maybe Norm got the idea from here.

He's not that creative, I've made a George Foreman grill from a PS3
Make a Ps3 from a George Foreman grill and THEN we'll be impressed. :p
The cabinet may or may not be homemade, but at least he was able to get everything in scale, the graphic looks great.
First psot!
I didn't know the Wii controllers were so large! No wonder Greenpeace ranked them so low.
What's this article about anyway?
not funny
C'mon blade! That's good times!
A.) No one cares.
B.) If you bothered to actually read the Greenpeace report, you probably would have realized that the reason Nintendo is ranked so low is because they refused to give any data. Greenpeace - being the self-righteous morons that they are - decided to rank Nintendo dead last just for spite, instead of doing what any professional organization would have done and not ranked them at all.
epic fail!
Since he doesn't have a strap to secure it, maybe he can get one of those free nintendo jacket for it?
now that should be about the same exact size as the PS3
I saw a cabnet at walmart last night designed for wii, wonder if he painted the door, will see if i can snap a shot of it next time i go in.
Now all he needs a stereotyped fat little italian plumber to pop out screaming "It's a me! Mario! to give the kids nightmares...
Itsaa meeA! Mariooo
I don't feel spectacular about the idea of building a cupboard which people will have an irresistible urge to shake.
must shake cabinet!
*explodes from resisting*
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Oh look!, It's the new TARDIS look in the next season of Doctor Who!
The Doctor fixes the faulty chameleon circuit and can now go to Nintendoland unnoticed!
Damn, how fast does THIS thing eat through batteries?
"We're not exactly sure why folks aren't as inclined to create confections, earrings and door unlockers with those other controllers"
Could be something to do with the fact the wiimote is a simple rectangle and all the other controllers ave at least some curves.
Looked at the back of it yet?
Not including a wrist strap is for your own safety. talk about breaking a wrist or two...
He waisted time buying a wii in the first place... :P
Great, good job but any one who displays this in their home has no taste, period! When I see this all I see is mullets and rat tails. Hey let make a Wiimote bed, and a Wiimote desk, and a Wiimote TV console, and some Wiimote shelves.
