NES casemod squeezes a working NES inside Super Mario Bros cartridge

April 22nd, 2008

The NES mod to end all NES mods.

Starting out with a cheap NES clone and a Super Mario Bros. cartridge, French modder Kotomi has created perhaps the coolest NES mod yet by squeezing the console into one of it’s own cartridges. It’s fully functional, with a cartridge slot, power and reset buttons, two controller ports and a composite AV out.

A resourceful case modder has managed to install a Vista-equipped PC into a NES case. The mod includes a 1.33 MHz Celeron processor, 1GB of RAM, Sony DVD burner, 160GB Seagate hard drive, WiFi, Bluetooth and a nVidia GeForce 5200 graphics card. Even sweeter? A NES controller has been modded to function as the mouse. The item was posted for sale on Craigslist, and sold for a paltry USD$800.

Here’s an interesting entry into the IFA CaseCon Championship 2007 by Oliver König. Oliver wasn’t to be found on the show floor, so we’re unable to comment on why he decided not to send this one in under warranty - however we can tell you he spent just seven and a half hours executing this fairly impressive PC case mod. The total cost? 20 Euros.
