Although we may consider it blasphemy to modify historical items. Some of these custom consoles you see are outright amazing.
We all know the toaster NES like AVGN uses.
How about a steam punk NES?

That steampunk deck is cool. I actually picked up a cool toaster today at the flea market. I dont plan on modding a real toaster into a NES toaster, but I thought someone on here may need one. The only reason I grabbed the retro chrome-toaster, was it's one of coolest I have seen.

That steampunk NES is amazing. I'd buy one of those if they were sold. Fantastic work.

I totally appreciate the work that went into that Wii (and the craftsmanship looks amazing as well), but it just looks like a huge pile of parts to me. What aesthetic is it supposed to be emulating? It looks more like a sci-fi movie prop than anything.

Interesting timing. One of my favorite youtubers - Thomas3120 - who does great mods, is selling some of his custom consoles, starting with this toploader:

The steam operates the gears. They go together.
