PS1 Portable!

In these pics, it show what a person made out of old ps1's.

gamespot wrote:What we heard: Although the PSP is less than a year away, Brian Gardiner of Rocklin, CA, decided he couldn't wait that long to get his hands on a portable PlayStation. So he made one himself, using parts from several cannibalized PSones, the compact redesign of the original PlayStation. The result? A pretty impressive-looking gadget that measures 9.6 by 5.5 inches, not that much larger than the 6.9-inch by-2.9 inch PSP. Those wondering how--and why--Gardiner went about making the PalmPSone (as he calls it), can read the whole story on his site. He is also debating whether to sell the device, which costs about $500 per unit to produce.

The oldest homemade portable system is the "Game Axe" which played NES games and looked a bit like a large Gamegear if I remember correctly.. Which is funny, because Gamegear was allready the X-box of handhelds... (hahahahahaha)

The Game Ax was sold as a pirate system in Hong Kong and I found one in Fiji... i was going to buy it, but i didn't have enough money... I wonder if I can find one on Ebay? I would buy it if it was 150 dollars or less, and if I was making more than 150 a month...
