Jeesh, there's a serious nerd shortage on this board, I may have to take my geek elsewhere.

You remember those arcade machines from the 80ies and 90ies? Pacman and Frogger and Space Invaders etc.
Basically, they´re all using the same technology, so someone invented an emulator for the PC, so you can play all those old games 1:1 on your computer.
Then, somebody came up with the bright idea to build a cabinet just like the original arcade machine cabinets, but instead of just one game, there´s an entire computer hiding inside the cabinet, so you can play them all on a real arcade cabinet.
Now this one is taking it even further by building a mini cabinet for an IPod. :)

Clearer now?
