This Akihabara store display contains a Super Famicom that has been gutted and turned into a Windows PC. We already love the idea of making boring, ugly things like computers look less boring and ugly by cramming them inside game consoles. But what really makes this mod a winner is the custom label on the hollowed-out cartridge.
The fact that it actually appears to run Windows XP is the hilarious icing on the cake. Oh! Maybe it's really Windows Vista, but made to look like XP! You know, in keeping with the retro-camouflage theme!

Doesn't the cartridge actually say "Vista" on it?

Yes the cartridge says Vista. Follow the link to see it working though and it appears more like it's running XP and not Vista. There are differences.

That looks so cool. It is nice to see some props thrown back down to the older generation systems.

It's not Wii connected, just Nintendo connected. DS fanboy will probably re-post this in the next 12 hour or so...

The monitor showing XP is not connected Super Famicom, it is in a sealed box with no cables connected. Also note that the power button is in the off position and the power light is not on.
It would have no problem running Vista, being a P4/Core 2 Duo and it doubtful that even the Japanese would make such a bad mistake.
