simple really, so simple i have to use big words to even make the instructions seem like they have any merit.
go to wal-mart and buy a clock kit, (i purchased the wrong size one,
the one i bought is meant to be drilled through wood =/, so theres a nice huge gap in the inside of it, i probably could’ve found one that was a better fit)
or you could rip apart an extra clock you have around the house and go from there, but no need breaking a clock to potentially break it while moving it to the new “case”
remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the console, open er up and rip all the guts out, you’ll notice that if you put the 2 halves back together you have huge holes where the ports used to be, its fugly as hell.
so, break the external pieces off the main board, (power cord input, av inputs, and the controller inputs) and screw those back into place, that fixes that problem.
now drill a hole in the disc tray cover to fit whatever you need shoved through the cover, if you dont have a power drill, DO NOT TRY TO POKE ONE YOURSELF, you WILL break it.
now its simple, screw your clock gearbox into place and put the hands in place/back on.
if you want to add the light it gets tricky, as of right now this moment the light in mine is controlled by a on/off switch located on the back of the console. which i hijacked off an old toy.
not everyone has this kinda of stuff readily available, and i do not know where to purchase it, BUT you could buy a small string (12 or so) Christmas lights that are battery powered and set those loose in there, and that would probably look even better.
but unless you were willing to do some dismantling of that too, you’d have to open it up to turn them on =/
the original design called for the original power switch turning this light on and off, but after tearing the guts out of the system, there was really no way to do that. without building some sort of contraption in there.
I bet Sony cant do that with their consoles =D hehe awesome stuff man.
And that PS3 picture is just plain sad XD
If I sent you my broken NES how much would it cost to make one… better? =O
Digs out old, but still working PS1 system and breaks it into pieces What now!?
I could probably get help from my friend that studies electricity and ask for advices how to add green LED in it and make it work with the start button. However i dont have a heart to break totally working PS1 and make it into a clock… ![]()
tassadar, i cant even picture what kind of clock you could make out of an NES.
Well you don’t really need the round disk top to make it a round clock do you?
I was thinking about just carving a square section of the NES top and inserting a large LCD clock. Though I could probably do that myself. Something like ( http://www.dynamic-living.com/lcd-wall-clock-with-date.htm ) could be easily inserted in.. just take the cover of the lcd clock off.
Digital. Get a little sawzall and go at it.
=( this guys mod makes me feel stupid lol,

You should check this site out then: http://www.benheck.com/
This guy makes consoles into portables. One of his better creations was the Xbox360 laptop (which is shown towards the bottom of the webpage).
As for making a Super Nintendo into a clock, go with a digital clock.
Wow, that xbox 360 laptop, I wouldnt mind having one of those ![]()
i imagine you wouldn’t have any sort of warranty on something like that =P
anyways, i got to thinking about an NES clock, and though i REALLY wasn’t planning on making another one, the interest in this one, (be it sarcastic or genuine) has inspired me to make another one,
still need to find me a broken, (or working NES) in good physical condition before i can start it.
heres a roughing of it i made in 3dsmax,

basically the key part, (the whole project depends on it) is a wall clock small enough to fit on the system, that has a lower base that is smaller than the outer ring,
like this, if you can understand my crappy ascii
Clock Face

in doing this i could cut a hole smaller than the outside of the actual clock, just big enough for the base to slide into, letting the outer rim of the clock rest on the actual NES, and covering up any sloppy boo boos i made while cutting it =P.
id still need to lock it into place somehow, but that’d be easy once i got it in there.
look at this picture for a few other things I’m wanting to implement.
