Lastly if it over heats he would have been better off using Ash.

That's a really nice mod. You can see the side vent slots. As long as there's plenty of room around the chips for air to flow, it should keep cool enough.]]>Apr 7th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/wooden-portable-nes-lets-you-game-in-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/wooden-portable-nes-lets-you-game-in-style/

1) craftmanship
2) labor of love
3) a connection with nature.

I worked with both wood and fiberglass growing up (father was a boat-builder / owner of a boat yard), and though I would be hard pressed now to pull off even a "simple" case like this one above (nevermind dealing with the electronics), I can say working with wood is a challenge and people visiting would always comment more on the wooden boats then on the shiny smooth fiberglass ones.

And I really hate saying this, especially as my w00d skillz ain't up to date, but he used too much wood. I would do the controls in brushed aluminium. And possibly the side vents. Or go with a very blonde wood and brushed nickel controls.

Does it really mater about originality when I made the wooden SNES to? :)]]>Apr 7th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/wooden-portable-nes-lets-you-game-in-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/wooden-portable-nes-lets-you-game-in-style/
Thanks for the comments.

a common misconception to think two of them, because it would work with 2, but really only needed one

Lemme know if you decide to retail these. Any chance of getting one that would play all generations Game Boy (except for probably DS)? My only fear would be that humidity would get into the wood and cause warpage and/or damage to the electronics (and possibly the cart). But hey, I'd start collecting NES games again for this.
