Dreamcast Stuffed Inside an iMac Corpse Offends My Youth [Hacks]
Gizmodo —
... I appreciate what it's trying to do: Bring two cult objects together into a single, self-contained artifact glorifying two of the great tech icons of the late 90s. The old, heavy and powerthirsty CRT has been replaced by an LCD monitor, while the Dreamcast is stowed away in the back, bolted in upside down. The controller ports on the front are seamless enough to make the whole thing work, keeping it from looking like a hackjob that would make it tantamount to desecration. [CGCC via ...

After all, it offers up a nice, compact gaming experience and also acts as a conversation starter. What else do you need, really?
