The gang at TwitchGuru decided to do something about those consoles hogging more and more electricity. They fashioned a portable solar (and battery) powered Nintendo Wii enclosure that they can take anywhere to enjoy Excite Truck on the go. The glaciers thank you!

Details on the parts used to build the "green" Wii case, as well as the hows and whys are at TG, but Tom's Hardware Guide has delicious video.

They say they're carting their creation around the greater Los Angeles area. We'll just see if I can get some hands on time down at the park with this lovely device.

Thanks for the heads up, Rob. Michael McWhertor
