Super Nintendo Casemod: Powered by Vista
August 14th, 2007
Here’s a fun one. Some guys in Japan has taken an old Super Nintendo (known as the Super Famicom over there) and turned it into a Windows PC.
The computer is running a full version of Windows Vista Ultimate. Apparently they started with an MSI Axis 945GM barebones system and rejiggered it to fit into the gaming system’s case. I especially like how they labeled the game cartridge to look like it contains the Windows install. Very clever.
Now what would be really fun would be to boot up a Super Nintendo emulator on this system, so we can play some Donkey Kong Country.

Really nice idea, just a shame they put Windows on it.
Vista is way better than any Linux to date.
Linux < Vista < Windows XP < Windows 7
