Saw this on the MAKE blog. Sounds interesting for the DIYer.

Impractical maybe, but a good larf. We've seen Wii's made of lego and NES's converted into PC's so why not?

Well you might not want to use tupperware but the circuit could work on any control panel the electronics are good.

Yeah, more value in the circuit than there is in the fact it's tupperware.

Nice find. I don't have the time to read the article right now (which is why I'm replying to it; to subscribe to it), but I am greatly intrigued at the thought of making my own USB HID circuit.

This is the best way that I've seen to keep those old arcade games fresh.

Heh, I thought you was on about [this] cab.

Last year I was scouring car boot sales for a NES to make into a dvd player. I got one but I just couldnt justify stripping out a working NES. This pic has re-ignited and old flame..........

Heh, I thought you was on about [this] cab.

I think I will stick to using tupperware to protect the wiring underneath. I wouldn't have used it if you could see it when it is mounted. I am definitely interested in the rest of that blog though. Maybe I will be able to build an interface that will be perfect for my cab...finally. Sounds like a fun project anyway.

Those big ---smurfin--- honkin bolts kinda ruin it. Why didn't they use beveled screws?
