If you thought the Super NinTiVo was cool, reader Jeff has something even better. He frankensteined together a “ViVo”, which is a Vista Media Center PC on a Celeron D 3.0 with a 250GB hard drive all running inside, you guessed it, a Panasonic VCR.

The only thing visibly different from the outside is the addition of a fan, and the fact that the VCR slot is actually a disc slot to pop out the DVD drive! Awesome, in a retro way—sort of like being able to go back in time and defile Marilyn Monroe’s corpse while it was still warm.
Bonus shot after the jump.
Thanks Jeff!
