We've seen portable GameCube (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/09/portable-gamecube-hack-brings-sunshine-everywhere-it-goes/) mods before, but the CCube (Compact Cube) built by one Jonathan Shine may be the smallest. Created using a GameCube, an old answering machine case, plastic cement and many coats of paint, the project took fifteen months to complete -- much longer than the original two weeks John had estimated.
You'll find a video of the CCube after the break (skip to 2:20 for gameplay). With the disc drive actually located outside the case, it's worth noting that it's a tad on the noisy side, but impressive nonetheless. Then head over to the Mod Retro Forums (http://forums.modretro.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6280) for a detailed look at the CCube's construction.
