Another Nintendo Mod Worklog
My first Real attempt at a case mod. I decieded to make the all popular nintendo case mod. so got together with my trusted dremel and got to work.
i even brought it to my job at best buy and they love it. you guys tell me what you all think?
Parts List:
A Jetway Mobo Model Number VIA C7 1.5 gig Processor [NewEgg.com]
1 Gig Corsair Memory[MOBO's Max]
80 Gig Western Digital Sata [Ebay]
A Mini Fan no model but was bought From Micro Center
Sony DVD/CD RW laptop Drive with an adaptor [EBAY]
PICO MINI Power Supply [Ebay]
4 Port hub Dynex [Best Buy]
Broken Nintendo [Ebay]
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.
as you can see a great shot of the top part of the nintendo on the inside
The Back of the machine where the power port is "make sure you tune it to channel 3 lol"
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.
A Top view of the case where the fan goes as yuo can see its "Great success"
Finally a beautiful Finish to be proud of.
Best Game of All Time "WII would like to play" LOL
That's the end of my first Work Log please tell me what you think I would like to hear what you all have to say. :think:
Re: Another Nintendo Mod Worklog
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.
Re: Another Nintendo Mod Worklog

Re: Another Nintendo Mod Worklog

Re: Another Nintendo Mod Worklog
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.
