I don't know if this has been brought up before. I hope not. If not, take a look at this:

I found this in a <a href=http://images.google.com/images?q=dream ... a=G>google search for "dreamcast controller"</a> while listening to Ben's podcast

Yeah that's been on Portables of Doom for a long time, I think even longer then I've been here. To give you the skinny on it. It's a custom Atari, the person took the 3 chips and made a custom board out of a perf board. After that through it in the hacked up Dreamcast controller, through in a 2.5" LCD TV screen, wired the controlls up under the D-pad and action buttons, polishing the system off with having the cartridge (as you can see) hanging out where the controller cable once was.

Not a bad hack, a little too messy for my taste but a good Atari hack.

I guess I haven't been on POD enough

No, I just saw it too, and I had to look for it. The only picture was of the guts.
