Just thought some of you might be interested in my little NES PC.
It's a broken NES which I gutted and fitted an 800 Mhz Mini ITX board in (it was a few years back and I think the ITX boards are much faster now so you could build a nice fastish PC in a NES).

A vast improvement to a non working one for sure. I was going to put USB ports in the front disguised in the joypad ports, would look good with a retro USB pad if there's a NES one. I made the mistake of putting Linux on it though and can't get the TV out to work as Linux is too wrapped in command line still  ::)

I could re-install on it, originally had Windoze XP on it with the drivers for TV out. Put Linux on it as a learning aid to discover more about Linux but then it only worked on a monitor. Should really look at it again but have too many other projects going on  ;D

not by much. you can snag the board setup im using for about $30-50usd on ebay...

HP T5720 thin client pc. Board mesures about 1.5 inches tall, length is 7.5 inches and width is 6.5 inches.

Only downside is you cant go over 1gb on the on board flash (when upgrading) and ram is only able to be increased to 1gb.  Cant load linux easily either without fussing with it quite a bit.  I gues if you played with grub4dos you might be able to get it working but i wasnt able to at first when i tried once or twice. Besides, XP embedded ran fast enough that it wasnt an issue.  You can also add a laptop 44pin hd in pace of the flash and get past this 1gb disk space limitation at the expense of some space and maybe a little noise and heat. At that point id install a fan.
