I was swept up in the euphoria when my friend bought an NES PC, and decided to make one of my own in the case of an old Betamax VCR.
This is the cleaned out box, pretty much everything's been removed from the inside of it.
So, I have the embarrassingly nooby questions to ask you guys. I was going to sand off all the weird outcrops of plastic so there was as much space as possible inside, and then buy a smaller tower, fit it inside, cut a hole in the back for the motherboard, etc. That's not a question, I know.
Right. Do I need to fit a smaller tower inside the box? Can I just put a bit of wood in there and mount everything on that? My amateur PC builder friend said that it'd be easy...my concern was something vague about everything being earthed, but I haven't got a clue, really.
So, provided I pop a few fans in there and get lots of nice energy-light pieces of kit, should I have too many problems? I was going to do lots of fancy bits - like having a blu-ray drive which emerges from the slot where the old betamax would have gone in (I saved that whole mechanism, in case it came in handy) and maybe a little LCD screen to fit where the old display would have been, but that's for a little further down the line.
