It could be cool to have a forward facing intake or something by having a faux game cartridge installed that would have the 'label' section visible on top would be black mesh, pop the console lid and your intake is ready to go (albeit still tight). I'd think a 3D printer and some speaker grille fabric could make short work of that!
Maybe then a laptop style heatsink / heatpipe combo do the rest?

My thoughts exactly. I pray he hasn't just left the GPU dumped in

I'm pretty confused by this article tbh. It says the NES can run Crysis, but as of me typing this it doesn't run anything. In fact, he's not even showed it working yet. Mostly because it's not finished.
Even if his idea of using an acrylic plate works I do wonder how the heck it's going to get any air with the GPU face down like that. I mean yeah you could open the hacked up cartridge slot but even then the fans are going to be pushed into the floor of the casing and getting no air at all.
I could swear I have seen this done (properly) but can't find it. The upshot was you need to cut out the bottom of the shell (properly) and put mesh in. Then fit some rubber feet.
It also annoys me that he calls it a console killer. Why do people use that phrase? Let's see that thing push 4k in any shape or form when it's done. Every since the arrival of the Xbox 1x "console killer cheap" PCs are epic failures. You can't get anywhere even close to the 1x with equivalent PC parts.
Before Covid I bought a Gears 5 special edition with the game for less than £300. LOL, good luck trying to build a PC for £300 that can run down a hill at 4k.
I have a sneaky feeling that phrase will die out completely when these new ones come out.
