Dec 5 2007 Nintendo NES Actually A PC, Emulator
Some man in France stuffed a PC into an old NES console and packed the thing with emulators for NES, SNES, N64 and PS2. The computer has "a 1GHz CPU, 256MB of RAM and 40GB hard drive." The man claims he spent over $1,200 and 50 hours of labor on the unit. It's for sale on eBay France, and is currently at about $920 with 4 days remaining. Included in the auction are all the controllers for the various systems, along with the connectors necessary to hook them up to the PC. Pretty cool, but too rich for my blood. Although I do have a fondness for PC based emulators. They really helped pass the time in college classes, particularly Ocarina of Time. I remember a professor called on me to answer a question once when I was in the water temple and I had to scream at him for disturbing my concentration at such a critical moment. I think he failed me. What a dick.

Mar 1 2007 NES case mod turns it into upright PS2
The NEStation is an original NES modded to look like an upright PS2. And I hope I never meet the mad genius that put it together, because I think my face would melt in the presence of his awesomeness. The best mod I could come up for my NES was sticking it inside a roasted turkey. It didn't look so great, but it sure tasted delicious.
A few more shots of the NEStation after the jump.
