Yoshi?s Mod: The X-Station
Who among us doesn?t own two or three different gaming consoles? (Well, okay ? at least among us geeky gamer types, let's say.) Have you ever had to experience the horror of stacking your consoles? Yoshi could not abide by this esthetic disaster, so he decided to combine a couple of console units ? the Xbox and the PS2.
?They?re not modded, just repurposed,? noted Yoshi. He simply rid himself of the old cases, squeezed the two systems? motherboards into a new red Lucite case, and voila! (Warning: Those directions take about 80 hours of work time.)
Altogether, the cost of the systems, the custom plastic case, and the laser cutting required to make the case cost about $700. But it certainly looks cool! (Especially Yoshi?s new slogan inscribed on the side: ?Friends Don?t Let Friends Use Stock.?
Unfortunately, Yoshi was so slammed with trying to construct this beast by showtime, that he didn?t actually get around to writing a how-to article. We?ll harass him about it next week. In the meantime, you can browse the threads on his forum for clues here: http://yoshi.us/forums/
