Retro Gamer PC Cases

The Watercooled NES Computer Case Mod is Meant to Play More Than Mario

Just when you think you have seen it all with regards to innovative computer cases, along comes the watercooled NES computer case mod. Modder/gamer Robert Whamm created the case mod for the Cooler Master 2011 Case Mod Competition, a competition that seeks out the best custom computer tower mods and scratch computer case builds.

Cramming the guts of a computer into a gaming system is nothing new, but cramming a complete water-cooling system in addition to all the components of a modern-day PC into a gaming system is definitely something worth talking about. The PC features a Sony Blu-ray Drive, TopPower Flex ATX 300 Watt PSU, a i5 2400 3.1 ghz quad core processor and 8 GB of PNY Optima DDR3 ram. On the non-tech side of things, the computer has been tastefully painted black and features an homage to classic Nintendo games such as Excitebike and JAWS.
