Big damn NES controller is really a big damn PC

We may have seen a giant NES controller that can actually be used to play the system, but some Swedish students have just given us an entirely new reason to want such an oversized object in our homes. This time, the giant controller is being used as a case mod for a working PC.

The students put this together for 1500 Kronor (about $300 USD), so we imagine that the specs aren't all too great, but it's still over 9,000 times cooler than anything we've ever done. Nerd your way past the break to see more pics of this giant wonder.

NES controller makes the perfect coin purse?

Sometimes tearing apart a NES controller can be a very good thing. In this case, we'd have to say that such a fashion statement is unwarranted. We like it when the NES controller is improved through deconstruction and reassembly, not stripped of all of its functionality. Of course, using it as a template for delicious treats is also welcomed.

Even considering that the controller was ripped apart and turned into something completely different, thus leaving the world with one less functional NES controller, that is a pretty clever idea for a wallet/coin purse. If you want to make one yourself, they have all the directions posted, along with pictures, allowing you to kill a bit of gaming history just as they have.

DIY: Make your own wireless NES controller

Now that you've seen it and had ample time to let the desire for such a controller for your own self sink in, we bring forth the instructions for you to accomplish such a mammoth feat as creating a wireless NES controller that will work with your Wii. Of course, this isn't for the faint of heart: you're going to have to do some soldering. And not only that, but you're going to have to have an extra NES controller sitting around to try this on. We'd hate to think you wrecked your only NES pad trying to attempt this.

[Thanks, James!]
