OnePlus One aims big: leaked design sketches reveal an aluminum unibody

When we first got word from OnePlus on the goal it has set for itself, we were, frankly, rather indifferent. Ambitious, big talk is easy, but executing on it is another topic altogether. But we kept an eye out on the Hong Kong-based company, and we've got to admit that we're getting more and more anxious to meet their first flagship, the One, by the minute.

Check out this Nintendo Entertainment System machined from a solid block of aluminum

If you're any kind of self-respecting gamer, you hold a special place in your heart for the true king of consoles, the original Nintendo Entertainment System and its Japanese counterpart, the Famicom. That's why Analogue Interactive, an outfit known for building bespoke Neo Geo consoles out of the finest hardwoods, is crafting a custom NES out of aluminum. Called the Analogue Nt, it's machined from a single block of metal, has cartridge slots to accommodate both Nintendo and Famicom titles and is "designed around the heart and brain of the original NES" -- which means there's no emulation going on like with Hyperkin's Retron 5. Analogue's not letting on any other details, but knowing how much its Neo Geo replicas can cost, we're betting that grabbing this bit of NES nostalgia will set you back a pretty penny when Analogue starts taking orders at the end of March.
