Hi,

i just found this great PC CaseMod made with an SNES and an Acer Aspire One A150.
Great, isn't it?

(PS: This is my first submission, hope i'm doing it right... )

Huh. Interesting find. I am actually building something like now. But mine is more similar to a MAME arcade system, not a PC.

Great, waiting for your's!

that is SO awesome! i love how the CD goes into the game cartridge.

Cool, but a bit of a waste of Aspire One, don't you think?

Hello, quangDX here, one of the guys working on the aaSNES1,
I didn't originally think to post in this forum, as I know it's more to do with modding consoles, than modding PCs.

but it's gonna be cool being able to play any SNES game (through emulation) on what looks like a SNES.
Also playing megadrive games on it is gonna be a surreal.

The DVDRW drive was probably the best idea for the casemod, but also the most troublesome,
the drive is just too tall and a fraction too wide.

If anyone can suggest a good way to hide the sides of the drive, it would be most appreciated.
I may just end up going with grey/silver duct tape.

as for it being a waste of an Acer Aspire One,
I have to disagree, the AAO is probably the cheapest 1.6Ghz Atom computer you can buy,
I picked mine up for £160,
And being honest, it's not a very nice netbook, it's cheap for a reason.
In my humble opinion I've made the casing better.

I can't wait to load this up with emulators and play on a proper joypad.
btw, I made a small update to the web page,

I would love to see this applied to an american SNES.

I did think about using an american SNES,
it would have made my job easier, it's a bigger machine, and the carts are bigger,
so I wouldn't be having all the issues with the DVDRW drive.

but to be honest, I think the american SNES looks like big breeze block.
the PAL and JAP SNES is a sleek, cool console.

maybe if I get enough interest I'll work on the american version of it.

I know! Though not bad, the American SNES absolutely pales in comparison to the beautiful PAL SNES/Super Famicom. In fact if I had enough money I'd do a cool swap with modded slot!

videos now up of the aaSNES1 in action.

also i've stuck it on eBay for those of you that want to own it.

how hard is it to sell your hacks/mods on ebay?
what sort of response/luck have other people had?

maybe eBay is not the way to go, and i should just forget the whole idea.
