Live: The Beat Goes On [gizmodo]

Even with a plethora of pouches and accessories, some finicky folks can never find the perfect way to store their gear. Reader David dropped us a line to let us know what works for him. His criteria is pretty simple: He prefers not to have gaming logos all over it and no neoprene bulk. David, the floor is yours:

1) The Tom Bihn Small Organizer Pouch - http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/ACC/TB0317 Tom Bihn make some pretty nice laptop cases, and their organizer pouch is no exception. The small measures: 7" x 5" (180 x 125 mm) and fits the DS Lite very snugly. That being said there is room for a few games, and I have also managed to stick my Nano in there at the same time.

2) Eclipse mint boxes - http://www.wrigley.com/wrigley/products/products_eclipse.asp
Eclipse make some nice mints in metal cases with fliptop lids. Once the mints were finished, I gave the inside a clean with tissue and compressed air and it now fits 9 DS games perfectly. It might fit 10, but I only have 9 games so I haven't tested 10. I have been contemplating taking the paint off, so it's a plain metal case, but I am not sure of the best and easiest way to do this.

Carrying a Nano and a DS Lite? Together?! That isn't asking for a crack, but begging. Begging, David! Any other neat storage solutions in Kotaku-land? Brian Ashcraft

A mysterious geek known only as "Scott" has created a meticulously wee foamboard Ms. Pacman cabinet to house his MAME-enabled iPod Nano. Yes, I said Nano.

See the little white arrows on the right side of the cabinet? That's the scrollwheel.

Not much to say about this except an enthusiastic thumbs-up on design and execution. That is indeed, a very tiny Ms. Pacman cabinet. Scott, we salute you.Eliza gauger

First someone came up with a way to play PacMan on the Nano, then someone decided to build a tiny little MAME cabinet for it. Introducing the NANO MAME, isn't it cute?
