Jun 16 2009I'm On To You: SNES Really A PC In Disguise
It may look like a Super Nintendo, but really IT'S A TRAP! PC. I particularly like the CD slot.
...here is a cool case mod by quangDX and DuPPs. Using the Super Nintendo and the Acer Aspire One A150, they have created a SNES PC Case Mod. The controller ports have been converted to USB adapters (via a faux controller cable), the cartridge is a CD drive and the cables are plugged in through the back.
Now as good as it does look, I must admit to being anti-stuffing one console into another one's body. It leads to identity crisis -- and identity crisis leads to hookin' on the street corner for pirated software. And if you're reading this: please come home my little MacBook Dreamcast!
Hit the jump for several more shots of the trickery.

Thanks to Margo the Jeweler, who would ruby-fy the shit out this thing.

They updated the SNES? Why not update Mario's transportation? Mario should be riding pygmy jerboas or velociraptors instead of Yoshi.

My PC case mod looks like an Atari 2600. It even plays the old Atari games and uses the classic joystick.
ok ok, I have an Atari. Takes forever to get on the internet.
@3. Save your purity. If you ever do manage to be the first to post. Do it with dignity. Just post a normal response. That way you will be silently honored as first without looking like a firstard.

12. jaja - June 16, 2009 10:57 AM
sorry saw some grammatical errors in my post, here's the fix:
Lol. In the first pic, it's not even plugged in, but the monitor's on XD.
Could this be the work of Daisy?

This is the internet, an interconnection of wires connection people via electrical pulses decoded to present a visual to the user. This particular internet is called geekologie.com....

The Apple keyboard is a nice touch. Classy as balls.
16. naas - June 16, 2009 11:28 AM
It was a good idea yes, but the result isn't as attractive as originally thought to be. It looks a little like the apple II

22. Lizzard - June 16, 2009 2:00 PM
Anyone else notice the legos used on the 4th pic? Think they where thrown in for good measure? What case mod wouldn't be complete without some legos?
23. Ciao - June 16, 2009 2:14 PM
nice,
why not disguise an external harddrive as another controller?
(ya' won't have 2 worry much about space4space)

25. RK - June 16, 2009 3:04 PM
wow, that's very impressive indeed. they obviously took a heck of a lot of time to build.
26. Darth - June 16, 2009 4:49 PM
Where's the cooling down system? Any fans?
27. Nero - June 16, 2009 4:51 PM
Just put a fan next to it to cool down.

thanks for all the comments on my Case Mod,
good and bad, I take it all as constructive criticism.
11.jaja - the plug you can see is actually for something else, not the monitor.
21.jack - I was just using the Mac keyboard in the setup shots as it was the nearest USB keyboard I had. The Mac keyboard was not harmed in anyway during the mod.
25. If you read the write up of the Mod at http://www.asobitech.com/remix/aaSNES1/ you'll see I used Lego bricks for all the supports, it doesn't conduct and it's easy o build into whatever shape I want.
26.Ciao - that's not actually a bad idea. wonder if i can fit a 1.8inch HDD into a snes control pad.
29.Darth - there are two fans in the system, one in the top half at the back left, and on for the CPU in the bottom half. But it is an Atom 1.6ghz, so it shouldn't get that hot.
35. quangdx - June 17, 2009 8:33 PM
videos now up of the aaSNES1 in action.

38. MechanicalApe - June 19, 2009 10:17 AM

40. jaja - June 19, 2009 7:21 PM
@21 WOW! Mac suck dick lol. more of a "waste of not blowing up a mac keyboard".
who honestly could sit on a mac for more than two hours?
Not I...
not i...
41. blargyblarg - June 21, 2009 3:04 AM
Pretty cool.
Did anyone else notice the legos used to plug up the rear slot? I wonder why he would do all this custom work and then use legos instead of, oh, maybe some grey plastic?
42. Manuel Graf - June 27, 2009 10:05 AM
great. As an old SNES Fan, this is simply hilarious.
