Here’s what we’ve found –
This homemade build from an old NES system would look great in the living room.
Created by modder James Regan, he’s managed to maintain full use out of the old ports, turning what was the consoles controller ports into USB slot. It runs on a ASRock A330GC Mini Itx Motherboard for which he said managed to fit perfectly in the Old NES case once it was all cut out. It contains a Dual Core Intel Atom 330 Processor 1.60 Ghz and runs pretty smooth.
The force is strong with this TIE Fighter replica, it’s brilliantly made. and looks like a must have for a good Battlefront session. The PC itself is built right into the cockpit! I hope it makes that glorious TIE Fighter noise as it powers up.
