NES is possible, but not with the hardware I have now. I'd have to get a much smaller motherboard.

An old DVD player?

Maybe. A stereo would be better, because the graphics card/other PCI cards stick up perpendicular to the motherboard 3-5 inches. And fitting a power supply in a DVD player would be a feat of magic.

I think I'm going to get a vintage suitcase, and build the thing into that. I'll cut some holes in the back for the power supply and motherboard/graphics I/O, then somehow secure everything in there...

Fancy towers are ugly, and suitcases are way cooler.  psyduck;


Good luck making a bay for the hard drive and CD/DVD drives, making the ports align properly in the hole, and shit when you can just buy a nice one for about 80 bucks.

I definitely don't have $80 for a computer case.

I could easily make bays for things... some sheet metal (which I have lots of), tin snips and muscle.  caterpie;

Would it be possible to make it so that you could open the suitcase and just see everything that was inside it?

That would be fucking awesome. navi;
