Have you seen the TV shows (usually on cable) like Monster Garage or Monster House? How about something like a Monster Console?

I don't have anything or prizes but you get the satisfication of doing something insane like a beer dispensing console. ;)

My list of challenges:

XBox inside an Atari 5200 case. The case must look stock from the outside.

Dreamcast system with black and faux woodgrain paint and 2600 style joystick controller.

As I mentioned, a console that dispenses beer. (working console optional but I wouldn't want it working in case beer is spilled)

Any other idea?

:P :thumbsup: yeah how much could they spend? Would they get freebies? Could they perform mods? I dont think console manufactures would like that. Mabey the prize would be like a case of pop from that soda machine thats on set but never acessed :ponder:

I don't think the auto maker wanted their bus running on water, having a motorcycle that can launch from a moving truck, or a small SUV that can launch hot air balloon. ;)

One of my upcoming projects is to mod a fridge to have a built in beer tap... now I want to make the handle out of a big joystick. Maybe a Tron stick?

How about a Barney edition N64? I mean Pokemon edition N64 is still selling for $100 at Toys R Us (when all other N64 sells for under $30) so they must be still popular. Make Barney edition (even just a simple solid purple painting) would make it a hot seller on eBay this Christmas.

:lol:
