This one is not a playable mod, but an 80 GB hard drive tucked into a Gameboy case. What I really like about this is the way the LCD screen is integrated, making for a Super Mario Brothers styled hard drive case.

The Super Hard Drive case was created by Logic Sunrise user _n3o_. Logic Sunrise is a French website dedicated to video game hacks.

    A list of very interesting projects. I may try one out. By the way, recently I am looking into buying a new solder station. Have anyone heard of Hakko soldering station like this one? http://www.whichsolderingstation.com/hakko-fx-951-soldering-station-review/
