Well, if you want, here is the page:

Enter ONLY if you want to make your own NES PC!!! (http://www.junkmachine.com/nintendo/)

I want to make one of my own, with the 1Ghz C3 and 512 MB Ram.

I wonder if the Video card will run PJ64 smoothly... :pj64:

HOLY SHIT.

3 days left, and it's already at 1 grand?

* The Khan Artist does some quick math

Well, getting hold of the NES cases would be the hard part, but the I could get the PC parts for about $400...and a few hours of labor...I could make a killing selling these things!

EDIT: Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3401983786). If you _do_ want one, buy this one instead. The guy who invented the thing needs money to pay his bandwidth bill.

EDIT2: Here, if you want to make a donation via PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=tim%40timwasson.com&item_name=Help+a+brotha+out%21&amount=1.00&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD)

He used the hype that was in slashdot about this machine and put one in eBay.

However, the creator of the site that build the "model" has his NES on the auction that Kahn kindly posted. He needs help so, he must sell his beloved NES PC. :cry:
