Mac Mini NES

The Mac Mini NES is one of the coolest hardware mods I’ve seen in a long time. Someone managed to get a Mac mini inside an old school NES. Nothing special, I’ve seen bigger computers crammed inside a Nintendo.
The cool part? Once the creator adds in a circuit he found online, you’ll be able to plug your old school NES controllers into the controller ports and use them with emulators! Awesome.
Other neat stuff: the NES power button turns the machine on and off and the reset button ejects the DVD writer.
Note: the DVD writer is actually an external drive, not the slot loaded Mac mini drive! Duh :)
