Nah, the idea of using a freshly-mushroomed NES controller as your coffee table isn’t new, but we’ve got to give props where props are due on this one. Kyle Downes has just completed a painstaking project that resulted in his very own NES controller table, complete with a removable glass top to protect the unit itself. Best of all, it’s way more than just a living room centerpiece. Open it up and you’ll find loads of storage room for items any Big N fanboy shouldn’t be without. Remove the glass covering and you’ll realize that it’s a fully-functional Nintendo Entertainment System control pad. Don’t believe us? Check out the video after the break.

BUILT’s Laptop Backpack keeps your files close, peripherals closer

Not one to just follow the crowd, BUILT has thrown an interesting twist on the oh-so-popular Neoprene laptop case. The Laptop Backpack enables users to tote their 12- to 17-inch machine right on their back along with textbooks, LAN party flyers and a copy of The Daily Bugle; you’ll also find a couple of smaller compartments for storing peripherals and accessories. The material itself is water- and stain-resistant, and the pack is available in two sizes to fit all but the most atypical of frames. According to BUILT, the new wave of laptop carrying should begin today at $80 a pop.
