MAKE: Nintendo PC



User hatsuli over at Instructables has a step by step guide to installing a PC inside the case of a Nintendo Entertainment System. One of many great case mods out there, but this one wins points because it's specifically designed to use that crappy PC you've kept in storage for the specific purpose of emulating old school console and hand-held games.

MAKE: Painted NES consoles



For $125 and a trip to eBay you too can own one of many painted NES consoles. Other design themes include Kid Icarus, Metroid, Megaman 2, Dragon Quest, Super Mario 3 (duh) and Legend of Zelda.

This makes me wish I'd held on to the NES I used to own rather than giving it to the opportunity shop many years ago. Actually, I've wished that for a while, and if I still owned it would probably be playing it, rather than painting and selling it for a tidy profit on eBay.

MAKE: Plush Embroidered NES


blueblythe at the Craftster forums took two weeks to create this plush NES set. Not content to stop at just the system itself, the set includes Super Mario 3 and Duck Hunt cartridges, a controller, gun and embroidered 'screenshots' of both games which are fastened to the TV with velcro.

No instructions on how to make your own, but they would only make us cry anyway. Hit the link below for close-up pics of each element.
