The Nintendo DSi XL Deconstructed

Why is it that completely deconstructing a piece of technology is so amazingly cool? We have no idea, but we love to watch!

If you love that, then you have to love the group over at iFixit. They have the time, money, and patience to do the grunt work. Their target: the Nintendo DSi XL.

They took it apart, piece by piece, and they analyzed all the components, and the results are fascinating. Stuff like this is especially cool if you enjoy learning about the elements that go into making a device like the Nintendo DSi XL, or the Sony PS3.

Just don’t ask us to do this to our own expensive gadgets. We tend to prefer them in an actual whole and functioning fashion.
