Atari 2600 Computer Mod

Tab · 03-June-03, 01:23 AM

I bet your all excited! Does anyone know how I could do this? I've got a busted Atari 2600. Now if I could somehow fit a HardDrive,mATX Mobo, HSF and Powersupply in it. Anyone want to donate me some funds?

Any suggestions people?

I wonder how he/she did it. It wouldn't be extremely hard all I would do is have to fit a powersupply in which would be difficult.

Catch! (link)

I think about the only way you'll get this to work is with a mini-itx form factor board. On board everything so no need for tall expansion cards and low heat. The profile is really too low for any decent cooling.

If you really want to do it with an ATX board, it's time to get creative. Good luck!

The real problem is that I want to fit a half-decent computer in it. I could fit a mATX board, Hard Drive and HSF. As for the powersupply.

Check out http://www.mini-itx.com/ They've got little power supplies for making little bitty boxes. Seems like they're only 55 watts, so you can't run much more than the board, slim-cd and hdd.

If you open up a Standard PSU and strategically place it out of it's case you can _just_ clear inside of the Atari 2600
