My NES HTPC Mod

[JPTCount]

Started on it a cpl of weeks ago, and it's basically done now. Just waiting for an internal usb adapter for the front panel and some Tron lights for a real 80s futuristic feel

That's good work! Nice job, looks smart.

thanks

 

front usbs now up and running, and got the power connector fitted today

 

 

backs a bit rough as I had to move the motherboard down a little bit as my original measurements didn't quite match up, but other than that I'm f*cking pleased with how its turned out

What is it?

What is it?

 

It's a console from the 80s that I've gutted, then replaced the insides with a tiny PC.

I have always wanted to try something like this, how are you cooling the CPU - as I take it there's not much room for airflow?

using a fanless motherboard/heatsink design, Asus C60M1-I, it's no power house but it gets the job done for media.

Cool story bro. Just got my XBMC fully set up and loving it. Will eventually have it set up in a dedicated HTPC but i'm a little between places at the mo so just hooked up to my 42" via my main desktop build. But that is quality... good work.
