Hey everyone I'm looking to buy a vintage NES system to put on display. I decided to get a custom one instead of the original and I have decided I want a Duck Hunt-themed NES. This guy here https://www.facebook.com/Customnesguy/photos_stream says that he can do it. The only problem is that I don't really know what kind of Duck Hunt theme I want. From his other systems it looks like I could put a duck on top of it and have the rest painted the setting of the game but I don't know...Do any of you guys have a suggestion on what kind of style I should go for?

Now, you know what you can expect from these barbarians. They are a race of rabid BASTARDS that will fight us tooth and nail! But they don't know what they're up against. Cyrodiil, is CIVILIZATION! Cyrodiil, is ORDER! Cyrodiil is POWER! And out here, WE. ARE. CYRODIIL.

Aw.... I thought it was going to be a PC inside of a NES. :(

I'd go with and 8-bit Mario theme.

I don't think a NES would be the proper casing for a modern gaming pc...

Yes! I really want an mITX inside a NES system, with the recent 750ti single slot cards this are becoming closer to possible but I'm unsure about pulling the trigger until I can get at least a 760gt level of performance card in there.

Maybe use a NUC motherboard to save some space.

Good idea. Also, depending on how it actually ends up performing, maybe you can gut the upcoming Alienware not-quite-steambox that has an undisclosed maxwell chip soldered in. If it's at least an 870m or better then for sure.
