I found this video of opening and examining the insides of a N64 very interesting. It looks very neatly designed. Everything's on a single PCB, and not a single cable anywhere. Also, it's passively cooled, so it ought to be very silent (I don't know because I have never seen one live). Link to video

All consoles and handhelds before the XBox were passively cooled, afaik (which caused some problems with the PSX).

<nitpick> Both the PS2 and the DreamCast had cooling fans, and they slightly predated the XBox. </nitpick>
