The Ultimate Gamecube Star Wars Mod
Yesterday, I posted about a Gamecube Star Wars Mod that, at the time, I believed was the “most elaborate” Gamecube mod I had seen.
Only one day later, I’ve come across what must be the Ultimate Gamecube Star Wars Mod. Over at DarkOps they have created the Jawa Gamecrawler. Based on a 1977 Star Wars Sandcrawler Model, the Jawa Gamecrawler contains three game consoles: a Nintendo Gamecube, a Nintendo 64, and an Atari 2600! Access to all controller ports, cartridge slots, and game drives is completely integrated into the Sandcrawler and hidden when not in use. Even the power switches have been mounted in the cockpit and appear to be part of the Sandcrawler.
It’s amazing the amount of creativity and work that goes into some of these case mods. Plus, they’re finding new uses for alot of old toys that, while very collectible, were probably doomed to sit in a closet gathering dust for the rest of their toy lives.

That’s about all I can get out of this — even the google translated page doesn’t make much sense, other than metioning Need for Speed and that the modded Gamecube is “pretty”. […]
