Title: detailed pictures (for custom case)
Post by Byron on 07. Jun 2007 at 13:03

Hello NES people!

I'm now a proud owner of a Hydra Console, but those come without case (just the bare board). To protect it I thought it might be cool to build a case that looks like a NES (the proportions seem to fit nice). Unfortunately I neither have a NES, nor know someone who has.

Do you people know where I can find suitable pictures of a NES? Like, top-view, side view etc. Something that makes it easy to build a case that looks like a NES.

Thank you!

I bet NGD has the dimensions of a NES scribbled down somewhere. :P

Don't worry, I built the case already. It is not 100% accurate, but it looks like a NES. Have a look:

The HYDRA is a 8-core 32bit console meant for programming games for it. It is relatively new and cheap.

You can see a video on youtube:

Or you could visit the parallax site (They manufacture it):

Or you can have a look at this awful noisy flash thing:

That was indeed a noisy flash thingy, I had to of course click it first to see how annoying it was ;D Thanks for posting the links, I had no clue what it was either.
