DIY Nintendo Digital Clocks

Nothing is more fun than taking a broken video game console and putting it to good use. Years ago, I turned a Dreamcast into a guitar amplifier, which was one of my favorite DIY projects.

It’s trying very hard to look like the one on the controller. Definitely a cool design, but is it cooler than Hennessy�s Cognac Kicks? Absolutely not. Not even close. There is ...
