Building a gaming pc in an NES case feasable?

I've got an old dead NES at home, since the 750ti has been released, at 60 watts, I've been considering doing something awesome. I know there is not much space in the case so I was thinking something like this, at least size wise, for the psu »www.newegg.com/Product/P ··· 17338063

a shorter heatsink than the stock one like this one »www.newegg.com/Product/P ··· 35103177

A mini itx motherboard, an amd AMD Athlon X4 740/750k/760k for the cpu, something cheap that has 4 cores, 8GB of normal ram with low heat spreaders, and of course a 750ti for the low power usage gpu. No optical drive because I don't use them and I have a usb one IF I ever need one.

Would this be feasible?

Very, I still have mine. I build one years ago when I first got into modding and stuff. I have it setup when you hit the power button, it will power into window and then go right into my emulating software.

There are a ton of plans online for them, just google it. What I did back in the day.

Very fun project!

Indeed a fun project! I read this article a few weeks ago, you may be able to get some ideas from it.

Should also ask, are you looking at doing a NES style emulator with it? Or use it as a normal PC. Why I ask is hardware needed. You don't need anything as strong as you have up for a emulator.

Yeah, its just the heat and size that have me a bit concerned.
