Nintendo Home Theater PC Case Mod

Here is an idea for people who want to turn their PCs into home theater capable machines. If you have one of those old NES gaming consoles, just integrate them with some PC peripherals and you may end up building a home theater PC like this guy over at Etsy.

The Nintendo HTPC combines a NES system with a Zotac motherboard, dual-core 1.66GHz Intel Atom N330, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 2GB RAM.

If you don’t think you have the patience to build one, you can always get one over at Etsy for $475.
