Very tempting, but more than $20,000? That's a bit much, even for me.

I think i'm the only one who doesn't like Ben Heck's work. It looks like a cheap arcade cabinet to me. PS3's, imo, are sleek sexy machines, and this gets a sanded fiberglass, early 90's arcade look to me. It looks like a bastardized PS3 and it's not portable. I don't know how many 120v outlets i can find to plug this into out in the wild or on the go. It needs some hefty LiOn batteries and a streamlining to fit the bill IMO. FWIW.

The wii he did was a little better, but you have to play it 3 ft away from the thing.

Still cool but his designs are a bit rough i think... I guess i'm the only one...
