Hardware Talk :: Pics of my nes-pc



While I still remember, the total costs so far:

An awesome find - mAtx mobo, cpu, mAtx psu, 20gb 3½ hd, and 384mb ram: 30e
The Nes, with one working controller: 29e (incl. shipping)
Two ultrabright blue leds (only one is needed, but I decided to get two ;)): 3,40e (incl. shipping)
A db25 male plug, and a case for it: 4e (incl. shipping)
0.5m ethernet cable, without plugs: 1.5e
Epoxy glue: 9e
A Dremel-copy, a soldering iron and some tin: 32e (yeah, I really got them for this, as I didn't have 'em before..)

Total: 108.90 euros. Not too much, still inside budget :P
Just checkin' how the power hole will fit:
I haven't had time to mess with this too much, bot today I finished the controller cable. Pic:


This makes the two ports operate with Linux. It could handle five, but I only had two ports  :p
I know, having a loop out like that is ugly, but I didn't dare to solder those directly to the parport pins, in fear of shorting something..
Can't see the pics. ;(
I guess cjb.net deletes them when they no longer get enough views
