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!

Truly amazing what some people can come up with.

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.
