I was trawling through my RSS Feeds and came across this posted on Joystiq, I just thought it was worth a post, You could even play Tetris on it.
However what would be alot cooler was if you could play your iPod as well as the classic Gameboy Games
Sure, you love your iPod, but we'll bet you wish there was a way you could replace that sleek, white case with a big, clunky grayish-white blob straight out of 1989. We hear ya. That's why we're happy to point you to this Flickr set that has detailed instructions for turning that beautiful iPod into a late-'80s eyesore.
Apparently, the process isn't as simple as you might think. A 60GB iPod barely fits into the classic Game Boy's case, and there's a lots of cutting and soldering required to get everything working with the original portable's controls. It's all worth it, though, to be able to pretend you're playing some decades-old portable game when you're actually rocking out to the latest tunes. Yeah!

What do you think, Would you buy it? or Better yet recreate one yourself. I'd love to get it, however at some point you would get tired of carrying that ugly thing around.
