It's with that in mind that the solid aluminum Analogue Nt (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/12/nintendo-entertainment-system-mod-aluminum-analogue-interactive/) -- the outfit's take on the original Nintendo Entertainment System -- sports fancy innards in addition to its machined casing. AsPolygon writes (http://www.polygon.com/2015/1/13/7541447/analogue-nt-nes-motherboard), the system's motherboard is custom as well, sporting a fancy black printed circuit board, transparent solder mask and raised copper traces. We've embedded a picture after the break. Sounds pretty snazzy, right? Well, the outfit's still promising audiophile and videophile quality out of their little aluminum box that could, and units still command a $500 starting price (http://analogueinteractive.com/products/analogue-nt) for pre-order. You might balk, but remember, this is the same company that charged $1,300 (minimum) for a wood-encased Neo Geo (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/black-label-neo-geo-custom-wood-mod/). Comparatively, this is a steal.
