Amazing Case Mod: PC Inside a Super Nintendo
Now you can play your old SNES games emulated on this... SNES.
We love case mods, but we’re tired of all the old windows and LED lights. What really gets us these days are innovative designs where PCs are stuffed into things we don’t expect to find them in.
For example, inside the shell of a PAL Super Nintendo (which shares the same shape as the Super Famicom in Japan), is the innards of an Acer Aspire One netbook.
What’s special about this case mod is that all the functions of the original PC were retained while making use of the features of the SNES. For example, the power switch works to turn on the machine. The eject button also ejects the discs from the optical drive – but wait, the SNES doesn’t have an optical drive bay (and neither does the Aspire One)!
Amazingly enough, the modders managed to cram a slot-loading drive inside a game cartridge. Read the full mod story on Asobitech and expect to see this SNES PC on eBay sometime soon.

I think I prefer that. The SNES doesn't have a good place to buy a disk drive.
Those top loading Saturn mods are pretty sweet though.
It doesn't have SNES internals, so it doesn't play them natively. But you can play SNES games on pretty much any modern PC (aka made this millennium), and you can probably play it at higher resolution with various filtering and save states.
My question then is... can it use the original controllers? =D
Not without modification, but there are plenty of guides out there that, with a SNES controller, a USB cable, and a stop at Radio Shack, you can make a USB SNES controller that works great.
However, I much prefer using a Dualshock 3 wirelessly for my Emulation needs (NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, etc).
Cool. :3 Thankuu.
I should probably mention, I haven't seen any designs that were solder free. So you may want to practice a bit.
EDiT: I meant with the SNES controller, the Dualshock 3 doesn't require any internal changes, and works fine with a PS3 afterwards.
wifi, bluetooth, dvdrw
not the best finish on the back of it, but nice anyway.
Hah, he used LEGOS to plug up the old av/powerplug spot. Wow.
