Solar powered Wii station a steal at $1,431!

The sun drives climates on our little blue planet, feeds plants with its warm light, and makes our pale gamers' skin dark and crispy with its evil death rays. And thanks to Tom's Hardware, it also powers a mobile Wii kiosk. Costing a mere $1,431 to build (the HD TV and Wii were the largest expenses), the solar panel feeds a battery that provides 6-8 hours of play time. The panel only provides 1/10 of the power needed to run the set-up, but keeping it charged is as easy as staying out of the shade.
