All-in-One Console

I was thinking it would be neat, and space saving, to have an all-in-one style console. Mostly I was just thinking for my Nintendo systems: NES, SNES, and N64.
I envisioned it as a sort of box (a true 'Game Cube!') with the game slots, ports, and switches in the front, stacked like drives in a PC. Not really concerned with portability, mostly just saving space around my TV.
Has anyone, to anyone's knowledge, attempted this? If not, how hard do you think it would be?
Ideally, you would have one power supply going into the box, where it splits and goes to each console separately, the same with the A/V cables. But I don't know if that's possible or how hard it would be.

I think someone did something like that...
Ah, I'm trying to think of the name...
Qube, was it?
I'll look it up.
I too thought of that idea, along with many others. I'm not sure how many have attempted it.

edit: No, not qube. Someone else will find it.
