Build a life-size Nintendo Wii remote cabinet

One of the hottest presents under many trees this holiday season will be the Nintendo Wii. The inexpensive (comparably) gaming system features one f the neater gameplays and controllers in recent times and the games are very engaging. For the young and old, the Wii has become the gaming system to have this year.

Once you have a Wii, a few remotes, a buncha games and maybe even a Dance Dance Revolution floor pad or other larger accessories, what do you do with all that stuff when it's not in use? How about hiding it all in a life-size cabinet designed to mimic the Wiimote handheld controller?

This is, by far, one of the neater game-related hacks I've seen in quite a while. This cabinet even features outcropped "buttons" that really do look like the buttons from the actual Wiimote controller. If you want to have a conversation piece this holiday and you have some gamers in your family, building one of these will keep the conversation nice and lively.
