Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Modder Hailrazer took a GameCube and some other electronics, stripped them down and created the portable GameCube you see above. The case was from a Datamax Kid's Delight, the screen was originally used for the PSone system and the insides are made up of a GameCube, Wii Classic controller and a Dreamcast Quantam Fighterpad.

The mod took over 90 hours to create, but the end result is a thing of beauty. The portable GameCube runs on batteries or an AC outlet and a back cover is being worked on to protect the CD.

Hailrazer will make you one, but it will run you $700 to make. Neat project, but not worth the price.

Is it just me, or does he sound slightly redneck-ish.

I find it ironic how it resembles a Dreamcast to me.

Very pretty, although I gotta wonder if that traditional button layout would work with many Gamecube games.

I miss the GameCube. Wish mine still worked.

@Xzyliac: Yeah, mine got some problems with the reader. I miss old Nintendo's reliablity. My NES still works while I had to trade my Wii's optical drive. Granted, it already fell to the ground 4 or 5 times.

Holy man that's a lot of space between the stick and the buttons. Sexy as a portable Gamecube sounds, that looks like it's awfully hard to play.

I wonder how the battery life is on that bad boy.

There are too many portable GCs for this to be worth mentioning.
