I use the original Power and reset button and light from the nintendo. I solderd the wires that you would normally get from a computer case sorry i know i suck at soldering.

In this photo i mounted some velcro to the buttom of the case(i will tell you why later) and also i converted the front where the nes controllers should be into USB controllers.

The Front is Kept orginal and i love that fact.

Now you can see why i used velcro and as you can see the medal standoff which is good for the Mobo. and i mounted an 80gig HD with Sata cable for the Mobo. and the reason why i went with the velcro so that incase the parts go bad it easier to replace.

This is the top half the nintendo the dvd rom drive is right by the flap as nomal i also took the normally looking usb ports that are internal on a case and embbed them inside here so that i can connect the usb's/nintendo controllers in the front of the case. and also as you can see a vent fan for any hot air it may have. Also later on whats not in the Photo is a small 4 port usb hub because i also installed a wireless card inside this system.

Looks pretty good. I have about 20 NES's in my room right now. I buy them, put new 72-pin adapters in them, and resell them on ebay for a big profit. I guess I started the NES modding up again.

[Vexxx_2007]

[nevermind1534]

From the pictures, it appears so.

[James2113]

I will watch what yours goes for, since I might want to sell mine when I'm done with it. The one that I saw go for the most was listed under video games>NES>other. You might want to add that as a second category.
