Ebay user thef1ea has done something that is downright cool. In taking a Wii and fitting it into a PC tower, thef1ea has created a PC-Wii hybrid. Affectionately dubbed the Wiiputer by reader Dave, it allows one to game on both the PC and Wii with ease, through the use of a shared 19 inch widescreen monitor. Overall, it's an impressive package, however we lack the $1,300+ that thef1ea is asking for this rig and won't be bidding. Will you try and get your hands on this?

It actually doesnt look so ugly once you put the front cover on it, covers up the gaping holes in the front :D
