Way, way back in the mid-1980s, Nintendo's 8-bit NES console was where it was at. They sold millions of the things all over the world (over 60 million to be exact), and introduced gamers to the likes of Mario, Zelda, and Mega Man. The console was sold until 2003 in Japan, giving it one of the longest lifespans of any games console ever made.

In Japan, the NES was known as the Famicom, short for "Family Computer". As well as being a games console, it was also marketed as a full-blown computer, with a keyboard and various software applications available to justify the purchase to any self-respecting parent.

Fast-forward 25 years and we have this - an homage to the Famicom days of old. An intrepid casemodder has crammed a modern PC into its retrolicious case, bringing it bang up to date. Well, actually it's running Windows 2000, but I guess that gives it even more retro charm.

The motherboard is a Pico-ITX running a 1GHz Via C7 CPU. It's equipped with a 16GB SSD for near-silent operation, just like the original. I bet that squidgy old keyboard is fun to type on!
