Nintendo PC
After dremeling out most of the useless plastic I had to glue some metal to the bottom to cover up the holes.
I saved the original NES power and reset buttons so I could use them to turn the computer on/off.
I had to modify the NES power button so that it did not stay in when it was pressed.
I used a laptop hard drive to save space, and I just used a converter to hook it up to the standard IDE cable.
After the glue dried. Some newspaper got stuck to the metal near the back.
