A walk through on how to make a computer fit into an old 8 bit Nintendo case. Not too expensive, either. I wonder how people think of this stuff!

You'd probably have to keep it in the freezer to avoid it catching fire though. My computer already runs hot with 3 fans running in a huge case.

Emulators are fun. Just about any old system you can think of (Atari 2600, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Commodore 64, etc) has probably been emulated. Since I had an aunt that owned an arcade I spent a lot of time in one in the mid 80s. So anyway that's how I became interested in MAME. Check it out if you enjoyed old arcade games. There's lots of possibilities for the creative (i.e., putting together an arcade cabinet and such).

Try
http://www.arcadeathome.com for all your emulating needs. Roms are another story though...

ROMs are easy if you know where to look. I.e., Usenet.
