      I made an NES computer

      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.


      Feel free to ask questions.

      It has a hard drive (sata) that I stole from a laptop. 160GBs

      Took three months to build.

      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.

      Normal NES buttons are perfect.

      Maybe when I get around to it.

      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!

      Yep, I hot-glued a potable DVD burner where the cartridge goes. It's wired directly to the motherboard.

      Do you have to stick a second cartridge (or a sock) in the game slot to prevent the computer from crashing 10 minutes later?
