The final product looks stunning, and the transparent case lends itself excellently to edge-lighting thanks to a few LEDs. For a nice finishing touch, the cartridge door gets a frosted Nintendo logo, thanks to some careful work in the sandblasting booth. Flame polishing is used to treat the edges, and everything is stuck together using what appears to be acrylic cement. The acrylic case is then built up piece by piece, using the original case as a template. The build starts with the disassembly of the original console, naturally, and the RF shielding is discarded in order to provide an unobstructed view of the internals. likes to do things right though, and has busted out an awesome acrylic case mod for his NES. Made with the usual injection molding processes, they usually came out somewhere closer to a smoky translucency and didn’t reveal much of the insides.
Those alive during the 1990s will remember the clear or “crystal” versions of various home consoles. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Raspberry Pi masquerade as a high-end computer, but it’s surely the most effort we’ve ever seen put into the gag.Ĭontinue reading “Mini “Gaming PC” Nails The Look, Streams The Games” → Posted in Games, Raspberry Pi Tagged case modding, Gaming Computer, raspberry pi, rgb For example, shows how he fixed the fairly significant warping on his 3D printed case with a liberal application of Bondo and a straight-edge to compare it to. There’s even a fake graphics card inside, with its own functional fan.Įven if you’re not interested in constructing custom enclosures for your Raspberry Pi, there are plenty of tips and tricks in the video after the break that are more than worthy of filing away for future use. We especially liked the little touches such as the fiber optics used to bring the Pi’s status and power LEDs out to the top of the case, and the tiny and totally unnecessary power button. Starting with a 3D printed frame, really went all in on the details. Assuming you’re OK with streaming them from a more powerful machine on the network, this diminutive system is even capable of playing modern titles.īut really, the case is the star of the show here. The goal was to recreate the look of a high-end custom gaming PC on a much smaller scale, with a Raspberry Pi standing in for the “motherboard”.
The latest project from certainly isn’t doing anything to dispel that stereotype. Or at least, that’s what the Internet has led us to believe. You’ve also got to install a clear side-panel so lesser mortals can ogle your wiring, and plenty of multicolored LEDs to make sure it’s never actually dark when you’re up playing at 2 AM.
To have a proper gaming “rig”, you need more than a powerful GPU and heaps of RAM.
