Would you buy or build a NES PC or not?
Hears a link to a site I found it on

seen those around before ... no thanks but no

Ohh just what I always wanted, a PC that sucks because it's in a NES case :getlost:

 

[Remote]

That's almost blasphemy... So, hell no...

 

[alexa999]

I'll buy it!!! It looks really cool!!!

I think I'm gonna buy an old style PSX and make a C3 system out of it.

Basic linux boot; roms stored on DVDs.

system would be:
C3 800Mhz
256 DDR ram
16X DVD (or slower; doesn't matter)
10gb HDD
NVidia GeForce2 MX w/TV out
SB Live! Value
I assume that the mobo would have USB support for the joysticks.

I'd use this system as a emulation and DVD playing machine.

So, half like it, and the other half doesn't like it at all.
IMO, I like it, but one thing it I don't like about it is:

NO ROOM FOR AGP VIDEO! (or PCI)
So if had more room for a AGP video card, I'd put an All in Wonder Radeon card in it, so I would call it a "NES-Vo"

But the things I like about it are:
It's small, so I could use it as a "network backup" unit or as a router.

 

[beastdragon]

NO I will never buy a thing like that never!

It would have been good if it had a good cpu and a Readon 9800Pro inside.... too bad the case is too small. Whatever :flowers:

 

[beastdragon]

Yay whatever :flowers:

I think the SNES is bigger than the NES, in fact I think the SNES has the largest space AFAIK, making it the ideal system for doing this. I think the PS2 would be better actually though, and maybe bigger on second thought, but what fun would that be.

As I said however, I don't see why anyone would do this unless they are either a real hardcore geek (hey, i'm a geek too, no insult intended,) or have money to flush down the toilet....

I thought the Xbox was bigger than the PS2?

 

[Nemo]

Heh, yeah, convert an Xbox into a PC... *grin* Or you could just wait as it slowly turns into one on its own.

 

[beastdragon]

Or a Xbox emulator :shifty:

It would be cool if you could easily use your xbox for playing pc games and use it for emulating other consoles.
