I went thru the instructions and I am curious to how he supplies power to different systems and how they are connected. Are the different systems powered by their DC Adapters and simply plugged into a power strip?How are they connected, to a TV or PC monitor? Are the RF switch boxes all dasiey-chained together, if so the output would be horriable. I think the idea is good, but the end result isn't great. Take the controllers for instance, who could play a decent game with the controllers made into the drive bays? Certainly not me. Of course as someone pointed out the various cartridge ports are scattered all over the case. I am just curious how the Yoshi Boxx is actually connected and used, or does it actually work? I agree, the rack mount would be the way to go. Perhaps someone could design a rack mount that has interchangable racks. Many of the older systems could easily have simply items built for them to use the mount without having to take them apart or alter them at all. Like a simple ribbion connector that pushes into the Atari 2600 cartridge port that mounts to the rack with a cartridge port on the other end.
