Do you have to pull the DVD drive out periodically and blow on it to get it to work?

Thats sick, someone builds a computer for a couple hundred bucks (almost definately less), and sells it for $500?

Do it yourself, an afternoon of work, max.

Well last year is was playing with the idea to refit my old msxII with one of those tiny mini-itxboards. But i could not find the specifications from the msx keyboard, which should be used again, to fit on the new mainboard. The idea then was killed.
But maybe some day i will build my msx-itx...

This rebuild NES is pretty well done.

I've seen many similar things done before, including some major retro XT cases outfitted with some serious tech at various lan parties. It would have possibly been a lot cheaper and easier to do that one with laptop parts though.

Personally, I prefer it when you reverse the idea -- build the old console parts into a standard PC Box, keeping the PC in tact. I've seen this down with a PSX, which had custom ports for the PSX controller/cards, the CD loading section was molded into the side of the case and the video signal was somehow spliced into the monitor display. I think I origionally saw it posted on this forum actually.

Now if you could make a machine that had beefy P4, Xbox, PS2, Game-Cube and a Dream Cast (maybe a n64, Sega Genesis, SNES and an ATARI for good measure) all in the one box then you'd have the next best thing to sex on tap, or would it be better than that too?

Then again, I've always been one of those that think emulatiors kill the experience of classic gaming. I still have several old console systems all hooked up to my TV -- Classics never die.
