    From RetroSystem's website:

    [​IMG]

    "Our systems are about technohistory, art and supercharged customized cool!

    Each system is a hand built creation. When you put in your order we'll be making it just for you to your specifications.

    We take original console or computer cases, clean them up, restore them, and build you a complete Windows/Linux compatible system to the limits of technology and to the limits of what we can stuff into these cases.

    In doing so we go WAY beyond your average system.

    Currently we're working with Amiga 1000 cases, Atari 2600 cases and the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) console game case.

    We're using some of the smallest commercially available Windows/Linux compatible motherboards and parts as needed. In all of our systems you're getting a machine that's decades beyond it's original design. You might be getting a supercharged Amiga 1000 that runs all Amiga applications as well as Linux or Windows applications.

    specs of the inner workings of an NES system:
    800mhz CPU
    128mb RAM
    5gb 2.5" Hard Drive
    DVD Drive
    Ports: 2 USB, Keyboard, Mouse, LAN, Serial, Parallel, VGA, TV, S-Video
    Windows 2000 (optional)
    Vintage Nintendo Entertainment Systems Console Case

    how does this all fit inside a small NES console? I'm looking at mine right now, and i just can't fathom it! :eek:

    My guess is that they're filling those cases with laptop parts...

    That's sweet!! Can you rig it so that the cartridge slot will still work? Probably make it an external drive or something...
