Mouting a gaming device in your FD?

Has anyone tried to mount a Gaming device (PS1 or PS2) in there FD anywhere? I was thinkg it could be cool if you got a real good audio shop to sink it in above the glove box and be flush with the rest of the dash. Anyone ever tried this? IF so, got any pictures?

Disgusting.

It's a car, not a living room.

Be careful flush mounting things like PS and PS2's, they may overheat and fry themselves, then you'd have to take it all apart to get a new one in there.

I had a PS flush mounted in an older car of mine, and I fired 2 of them in there. With it flush mounted, it has no way to dissipate heat.

The whole idea sounds good to me, but not in an FD. If it was almost any other car I would say it is a great idea. But I have thought about it and it just doens't fit with the car in my opinion. Now if this is a show car, go for it. But just a plain FD no. They were built to be driven, not to be lived in.

I was hoping to do that myself someday. I'm going to the National Auto sound competition on Satrurady to get some advice.
