Yeah, title says it all. I took apart an NES and put a working computer inside. Everything but the power supply is in the case. Here's a picture.

cool. Does it have the full blown 3.5 inch hard drive or just a 2.5 inch laptop HDD? And what a size?
And how long did it take you to build it?
(Guess I could have put this in teh first post:)
It has a hard drive (sata) that I stole from a laptop. 160GBsQuote:

Do you use the normal NES power buttons?
Can we see pictures of the back/sides/insides?
Also, w00tbuntu! I prefer Linux Mint to Ubuntu. Canonical seems to becoming... Applish...
My main computer/laptop uses Arch Linux. I'm that kind of control freak.
Nope.Quote:

The pic made me RC, lol
Nice mod! But is the PSU not in the case? It looks like its sitting on the tower right behind the NES. Is there a DVD drive where the cartridges used to go?
EDIT: The answer to my first question is in the OP. Doh!:doh:
Yep, I hot-glued a potable DVD burner where the cartridge goes. It's wired directly to the motherboard.Quote:

I'm glad you bumped, but then you owe us the requested pics of the inside :P
Do you have to stick a second cartridge (or a sock) in the game slot to prevent the computer from crashing 10 minutes later?
