Nintendo 64 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NINTENDO-64-I...m3a5297d019&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_831wt_958

I know size is an issue as is heat.

I will gut a cartridge and use it for a fan

10cm PCI extender for the GPU, will turn it over so the fan points up close to the memory booster thing

I have an N64 already had it for years, I would use this but it's a Pokemon stadium edition one so no no.

If there's space I'll put a n64 to USB controller adapter on the first player only??

Size wise it fits just the RAM to worry about -

External PSU probably 500W

External DVD rom drive most likey - or I might caddy it on the bottom and Raise the stands a tiny bit for a slim line
 
PSU's can be used externally, according my IT friend

I know a computer repair guy I'll ask him about it, and read into it,

thanks for the interest guys
 
Would it be possible to Passively cool this? so GPU CPU RAM and PSU?

A good folding at home machine, but it would be in my room on 24/7 hence the passive ?
 
Im going to turn the Cartridge slot into a dock for memory sticks, so convert an old cartridge into a multiple memory stick holder.

the GPU will only fit if its a low profile one and with the help of a PCI extender allowing me to put in anywhere in the case

the PSU will be external
 
It will happen at the end of next month, first month of work in local Chinese - £288 a month

Help me spec this better, I'm sure many of you have experience with cooling issues

Since I already have the GPU I have £130...? help me splash out a bit guys

going for this since it can average 45 fps in L4D at 900x1400 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-217-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=

Plus it fits

Made in sketch up to scale precisely

case, CPU plus heatsink and RAM

I was considering going down that path, the shape makes it easier, but as this is going to be gaming/HTPC aesthetics do matter.

Dare I water cool this?
