Topic: NES computer I made

Posts 1 to 11 of 11

I've built a computer inside of an NES:D

It's currently running Ubuntu 11.04, and does so very well. It gets VGA and power through the back of the unit. A small hole is cut out, which is just big enough for the VGA cable to fit through. As of now, USB peripherals can only be routed through the front of the case.
I also gave it a new paint job, because the original paint was turning a horrid yellow.

The original NES buttons also function just as they would on a normal NES (Left powers on, right resets the system).

Specs:
1.66Ghz dual core processor
2GB ddr3 RAM
160GB HDD
90Watt PSU

EDIT: I no longer need this system. If you woke up this morning wanting an NES computer, then it's your lucky day.

Pretty well, it does get a little warm, but not hot enough to harm the system. It is a very tight fit, though. It took a while rearranging things to get it all to stay in.

Dude that's awesome! The Red and Black looks much better than the original thing.

Using Ubuntu 11.04 too right now BTW.

That's pretty impressive considering the size. The paint job also looks pretty awesome.

Thanks given to Xkhaoz for that one avatar.

@Singularo: That is one sleek-looking NEScomputer...

Fantastic, always wanted to have a go at one of these myself. Have a spare netbook that should be ideal to do it, just finding the time.
