The Nanocade is a clever invention by designer Rasmus Konig Sorenson. Bored of his old netbook, he decided to transform the miniature laptop into a tiny and awesome arcade system.
The Nanocade is still in prototype form, but Ramsus hopes to have the netbook body upgraded on the mass market soon. On his website, he shows the meticulous process it took to craft this machine. The cabinet for the Nanocade is $300, but we warn you that constructing this system takes plenty of experience.
