Introduction: Portable All-in-One Game Console Box
More by the author:
About: It all started when I was young. I have always enjoyed taking things apart and reassembling them just to see how they worked. As I got older, I moved on to more advanced projects. I have worked on some really …
Building this portable all-in-one game console box was a great decision! Not only does it make it easy to transport, it also protects my game system and keeps it organized.

Why build such a thing? Well, I was tired of having to unplug everything and pack up in order to move my game system from place to place. I considered just buying a portable, hand held retro-gaming system, but these would only provide me with a small screen and nowhere to store the cartridges. With this, now all I need to do is plug in a single power cord to the wall, and start gaming. This project also allows me to take my screen with me without fear of breaking it.
I completed this project using mostly things I already had, along with some stuff from my local store. The total price of this project was less than $30, (assuming I already had a screen and game system).
Pros:
-Requires only one outlet
-Portable
-Minimal setup time
-Organization of an entire game system in a compact box
-Can support multiple game consoles
-Protected screen
-Large screen for multi-player games
Cons:
-Heavier than a handheld system
-Cannot operate without a power source
