There was an item [posted way off topic over in the PS2 group about a
guy who made a portable DC. I'm not sure I believe it really works. And
if it does, it's got to weigh a ton. (Pics are a bit big for easy dial
up browsing; I included a direct link to an illustrative picture):

I've seen this site, it's pretty cool. The guy does his own vacuum-formed
consoles casings, and manages to reduce power consumption and heat
generation in really clever ways. If you think about it, a good portion of
the weight in a Dreamcast is the heavy plastic casing and the power
supply, so externalizing both those components would reduce the mass in
the handheld part of the thing.

I wonder if he could make custom Genesis or Jaguar cases, that would be
pretty neat.

Yeah, but I'm just saying like if he could make custom cases for our
non-portable systems. I bet he could make some good money doing so ;-)

This isn't a new or even original idea, really. I remember hearing - about a
year before the home version was discontinued - that Sega was working on a new
age Nomad portable to play DC games.Obviously, it never came to be, but it
seems to me that this guy probably thought about it enough to want to try it
himself.
