The iconic Nintendo Entertainment System was hardly a design classic back in 1985, but it holds special memories for many of us. What better way to keep the spirit of the humble NES alive than with a custom PC case mod?
A PC Gamer reader gutted an old NES which he had lying around, went to work with a dremel and sandpaper and gave the case a sparkling white paint job. The goal was to give the classic NES a bit of a modern twist; he's certainly achieved that.
Affectionately named the NES 3.0, this custom packs a PC Intel Core i5-4670K CPU, an ASRock Mini ITX motherboard, and an MSI GeForce GTX 750 video card. It does look like a tight squeeze, but it works nicely.
The build took just over seven months to complete and, from the end result, we'd say it was time well spent. As always, let us know what you think with a comment below.

That looks hilarious. I can only imagine my friends walking in my room and seeing me play League of Legends on the NES.
Niiiiiiiccccccce!!!
Not a design classic, we used to call it a shoe box!
wow really nice! Someone has some talents.
That's actually very cool.
All your graphics belong to us!
It's a nice job but . . . kinda reminds me of that time I pranked a friend by making him an oreo with mayonnaise filling.
As usual, a Nintendo system with far more horsepower than it's competitors!
@WaveBoy That is amazing.
Is this... the NX?
@GamePerson19 Yes.
God....I would love this...i'm tired of lugging my pc around. it's about the size of the original xbox.
Not bad, I like it
@WaveBoy Do you bring banana's to theaters?
Next Thing you know, they well do it for NGC and Wii
My classic NES lives on as an NES. I use it to play NES games.
I have a sudden urge to swap the innards of my NES and PS3 now.
@XCWarrior well your not wrong, I checked the inside of my Wii U found at least 3 horses in there, was 4 but one was dead. Anybody here sell a Wii U horse?
@AshFoxX as usual... the NES had PS3-like graphics before HD was invented!
