			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a tinkerer like me, you&#8217;ve probably cracked the case open on at least a few of your electronic gadgets to see what they look like on the inside. But I bet you&#8217;ve never seen the guts of your video game console quite like this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12258 aligncenter" title="xbox_360_x_ray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/xbox_360_x_ray.jpg" alt="xbox 360 x ray" width="520" height="432" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty obvious that&#8217;s an Xbox 360, but see if you can identify them all:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12257 aligncenter" title="gamecube_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gamecube_xray.jpg" alt="gamecube xray" width="520" height="661" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give you a clue. Look at the faint curved handle at the top. Yep, that&#8217;s a Gamecube.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12261" title="snes_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/snes_xray.jpg" alt="snes xray" width="520" height="392" /></p>
<p>Hmm, is that an NES or an SNES controller? You&#8217;ve got 2 seconds&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12267 aligncenter" title="nes_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nes_xray.jpg" alt="nes xray" width="520" height="358" /></p>
<p>It amazes me how absolute empty the Atari 2600 case was compared to today&#8217;s consoles. Imagine how much better the graphics would have been if they&#8217;d actually filled the box with circuitry.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12259 aligncenter" title="2600_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/2600_xray.jpg" alt="2600 xray" width="520" height="361" /></p>
<p>Contrast that to the jam-packed Sony PS3. There&#8217;s definitely not much room to wiggle inside that case:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12260 aligncenter" title="sony_ps3_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sony_ps3_xray.jpg" alt="sony ps3 xray" width="520" height="421" /></p>
<p>This one is pretty self-evident. But is it a DS Lite, DS Phat or a DSi? And where are the cracked plastic hinges? Oh, they&#8217;re on <em>my DS Lite</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12262 aligncenter" title="ds_lite_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ds_lite_xray.jpg" alt="ds lite xray" width="520" height="747" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m assuming that the guy who took these photos works as a radiologist, or maybe in airport security. Or maybe he&#8217;s just got X-ray vision and cameras implanted in his eyeballs. Yeah, I like that idea best.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12263 aligncenter" title="n64_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/n64_xray.jpg" alt="n64 xray" width="520" height="392" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave the rest of the images up to you to figure out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12264 aligncenter" title="wii_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/wii_xray.jpg" alt="wii xray" width="520" height="391" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give you a hint. This is NOT a transistor radio or an 8-track player &#8211; or is it?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12269" title="nes_console_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nes_console_xray.jpg" alt="nes console xray" width="520" height="401" /></p>
<p>All I know is that this guy definitely isn&#8217;t a SEGA fan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12265 aligncenter" title="wii_nunchuck_xray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/wii_nunchuck_xray.jpg" alt="wii nunchuck xray" width="520" height="434" /></p>
