    r2d2 mod

    Here’s an outstanding project for all you Star Wars fans.  This guy took an R2D2 cooler and turned it into a retro gaming machine!  Inside are eight consoles and a even a projector mounted in the head just like R2D2.  Perfect!  Now you can have a personal gaming robot to follow you around and fulfill all your nostalgic gaming desires.  Unfortunately, these are all the pics and info we have about the project right now.

    R2D2 Innards:

    We can take a look at the guts of the system (minus the projector) and see the wild mess of cables, fans, and retro consoles.  It’s definitely a fantastic feat of engineering to get all of them to fit in such a small space and then have an R2D2 head-mount projector and built in sound system to work on top of it all.  Take a look at some of our related Star Wars projects:
