Gamecube ITX form factor build, would it be fun and worth it in 2019?

[TUFGinger]

Ok so here me out i have been reading alot of topics on this LTT forum, and i am kinda curious how fun and worth it would be to build in an original Nintendo GameCube would it be worth it,would it be worth the money and fun to build an ITX form factor into a Nintendo GameCube console? The final question is...can it be done and can it be either a liquid cooled or watercooled?

The itx form factor is 6.7 inches squared, the largest dimension of a GameCube is 6.3 inches.

It's not going to work because MiniI-TX boards are around 170mm x 170mm. The GameCube is 149mm x 160mm.

 

If you want to build something in it though, you could probably gut a NUC or if you're lucky, find something smaller than a mini-ITX like a mini-STX or a bare NUC board.

I found NUC boards are readily available, if you still want to pursue this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits/nuc/boards.html

If you did a NUC or rasberry pi, you could easily do it.

 

But as stated earlier, ITX is too large to fit in an original gamecube chassis.
