So Peter over at the [Create Digital Music](http://www.createdigitalmusic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=771&Itemid=44) blog came across [this site,](http://boris.eggsandtoast.com/nintendo.php) where this guy rack-mounts an NES. This, in and of itself, is kind of, well, not that cool. However, Peter made what is perhaps a mistake. He said the following:  
_  
"you should be able to do what this fellow did and cram your eBayed NES into a 1U rack mount. Then, add MIDINES, a custom cartridge for MIDI output. \[...\] Anyone who pulls this off, I will personally give you . . . oh, I don't know, I'll find some kind of prize. You can have my Nintendo DS or something."  
_  
Well, I don't know about the "or something," but I'll be glad to take your Nintendo DS off your hands shortly. One rack-mounted [MIDI-NES](http://www.wayfar.net/0xf00000_overview.php) coming up. Peter, I prefer USPS Priority Mail.
