Nat speaks true.  I'll add that the CD-ROM is a nasty hack job that should have been handled better.

That looks awesome. If I ever buy a PC-FX, that's what I'm going to do with it.

Thats a great job, minus the rough plastic cuts. But from the outside it looks nice and normal.

Totally rad, I've been waiting to see this done for years! It's a shame that the CD drive area had to be torn up a bit, but it's not a big deal when a CD is already in it or the lid is closed!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Cool!! But yeah, I'm not a fan of vivisection...er...pc-fxsection?  :P

There's a PC-FX system here that's over in a couple hours and it comes with a game.

Here's a BIN for $59.00 Can. ($59.00 Can. for shipping). It's just the system though and it has become extremely yellowed.

I took mine apart a while back, just for kicks. Theres a lot of shielding and plastic in there you'd need to remove in order to put a PC in it.

Unfortunately ive had to give up on this idea for the time being since i`m away for school, but its always been in the back of my mind. I will definitely do this one day. Especially since these days we`re seeing tons of microscopic motherboards hit the market. A nice all-in-one board with plenty of power is pretty cheap last i looked.
