if I unplug the fans it might melt, or possibly blow up!

it looks like a regular NES to me

NegativeSleep · 07-01-2003, 12:17 AM

on the outside, perhaps.

But on the inside it boasts a VIA motherboard, 800mHz CPU, 20gig HDD, 24X CD-ROM, and other goodies! (actually, that's about it).

the keyboard and mouse plug in the front controller ports too

I took some more beauty shots of the sexy beast:

as well as a shot of myself upon first successful boot up of the machine, feeling like champion of the universe!

scratch - the kits are apparently a big rip-off, as they're massively overpriced and have cheap-ass parts. In any case, if you've put together a computer before, it's not that much harder - just takes a little more drilling/gluing, and a bit of creativity as far as figuring out how to cram everything inside the tiny box and keep it from overheating.

I also got a lot of help from a bunch of websites online. Seems like a cult is starting to develop around this stuff (just wanted to try it out before it goes mainstream)

pretty fucking cool. can't really build a powerful system though.

fastest I've heard being pulled off is 1.1Ghz, but even then there's a lot of bottlenecking on the system bus, and since basically all of the hardware is integrated on the mobo (including the CPU), you get a lot of slowdown. Since you can kiss any chance of putting in a half decent video card (or basically any PCI/AGP card at all) goodbye, you don't have very much say in the matter.

Anywho, this baby isn't really equipped to be my main computer - it's mainly just for novelty factor

And it was helluva fun (and frustrating) to build too.

my ex wanted to do that with one of my old NES systems... he's going to flip out when he sees that people have beat him to it. hah hah
