DoomSwell 12/05/18 5:29:26 PM #7:	A motherboard about the size of an Altoids tin. (Which is a common/cheap case) Many people load linux emulators on it and say its better than a Classic console. But they aren't really counting the cost of the case, the SD card, the power cord, the USB dongle, the HDMI cord, a controller or two and the hassle of doing it yourself and dealing with linux. You can easily spend $50+ trying to be cheap, while hacking a SNES Classic is infinitely easier (really, Ninty should be embarrassed) and prettier, therefore worth the extra $30. --- http://www.backloggery.com/doomswell <cite>DoomSwell posted [p:913602251] in Explain th...
