So far it has only been able to be seen in person. Now he has finally uploaded a video of it up to YouTube. I thought you guys & gals would appreciate the novelty of this build. [url= ][/url] Specs: * Original NES Case * Intel i5 650 @ 3.2Ghz * 4GB DDR3/1333 @ 8-8-8-24 * 500GB 7200rpm Seagate HDD * PicoPSU (Which I believe is the 120W) Link to comment

Thats kids gonna be fucking rich one day. It's actually pretty simple. The CPU itself only has a TDP of 73W. He's cutting it pretty close but it plays games just fine. I agree though, he is a very smart person. He's got a bright future ahead of him. I don't know man.. the airflow on that thing must be really poor when it starts to heat up a lot..... Yeah back during my December 2010 LAN it would overheat after about 30 min of L4D2. He has since tweaked the cooling and at my latest July 2011 LAN he never had any problems with the cooling.
