AWESOME! N64 = VINTAGE!

 

[eddieroolz]

Awesome. These case mods stretch the borders of imagination. Kudos to the modder!

 

[tu_illegalamigo]

Pretty cool. I`ve still got two and a carrying case. One is broken...hmm.

But can you play Mario Kart on it?

 

[borisof007]

Pretty sweet mod!

There are a lot of interesting mini-itx projects.

For example, someone crammed a computer into a Windows XP box.

There are more links on the right, including a Sega Genesis console for those who liked to do what Nintendidn't.

N64 emulator

[tacoslave]

[RailGun88]

Just pure epicness! All he needs to do is mod an N64 controller to be usb. And get the Project64 emulator.

 

[vittau]

Someone's gotta try an Atari 5200 now, you can fit a whole supercomputer inside that thing.

There are N64 controller to USB adapters available.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Thanks for posting this story! I've had a pet project on hold for a little while that involves stuffing a similar Ion board into a 2nd rev. Sega Genesis (the sleek one with the oval trim on top) and was hoping it might run passive with just convection airflow, so I appreciate the reality check as my Genesis is nowhere near as tall as the N64 and barely fits the heatsink without the fan. Oh well, hopefully the Zacate (or similar) CPUs make their way to mITX as the TDP is a lot lower than atom+9400.

While I was reading that story, the Super Mario 64 music started playing on my playlist. Nice coincidence.

"Runs well with OSx"
I could see Apple selling something like this. It really reminds me of a projector with the way he modded it.

 

[jellico]

Impressive! But how does he keep that thing cool?

Game Cube Controller>>>>>>>>>>N64 Controller... I have a USB adapter for mine 😉

 

[grieve]

i went to the site and looked @ the whole build...It is awesome, he did a great job.

I have 1 question: The power supply is where?

If you look at the pic that shows the board from above, you'll notice it doesn't have the 20+4 ATX plug, so it's the Zotec variant that has the DC-DC on the board and you use an external (included) power brick. I agree with you on the build comments- this is definitely one of the best console conversions I've seen so far.
