Edible video game system

I, the nerd who lives with his mother, have designed a laptop like portable. It consists of a system motherboard fitted with a PS1 screen out of its casing all packed in a metal lunchbox. It can run off wall power or batteries and has an external controller port. it can be any system, it depends on which motherboard is in it. The best part is that it can be taken to school or work without anyone noticing it's a game system. I have blueprints for it, but it is not completely built yet. you can also pack some other stuff in it such as games or a sandwitch because it has extra space. Now this is my idea, so do not steal it, kids.

So it's just a portable in a lunchbox? I can just see that all shorting out... hehe....

I was going to line the bottom with epoxy, duct & electric tape so that nothing shorts out. as for the screen, i'll use spacers or PC board standoffs to keep it off the surface. once I figure out how to use my scanner, i'll show you the actual proffesional blueprints that I drew on an actual bar napkin.

You were rambling on about how you are under 18 like an hour ago.

If he's not from the US, then the drinking age may be lower.

I think this is a good idea. But instead of a mash of glue and tape, I would suggest lining the inside with some thin sheets of plastic and filling the cracks in with hot glue or epoxy. It would just give it a neater look, although the mash would work.

He says his location is Florida. Also he has Cox cable, and that is an ISP from the USA.

I think you would have to do disk systems because I dont think an atari cart will fit in the same case slot as an NES. but than disk systems are huge, like xbox.

Do i sense a stalker here

So Retromaster, do you like eating red or green PCBs? I really like the Red ones, but the green ones add a very nice tangy flavor.

Personally, I prefer the red ones, because they're less common, and a change from the green.

When I read the topic, I was hoping for a NOAC or other small device inside a chocolately coating.
