This stuff seems like it could be used to make some pretty cool cases. It'd have to be for something that doesn't get too warm, but it could make for a pretty amazing looking NES shell.

Even if you had to over-size a fan or add another small fan to a case to improve cooling, it could allow you to make some pretty funky/cool looking cases. Nice find tts

Tracked down a bit more info about it. Apparently this stuff is actually a brand of PCL.

The melting temp is around 60C.

I think it's also called polymorph.

I see a use for this in repairs more than entire cases, but still very neat. I might get some to make controller grips or something, maybe even molding too.

These would be great to use to make screwdrivers for like Nintendo screws that need special bits.

Very cool stuff.

Yeah, with a 60C melting point anything near a CPU would probably get goopy and flimsy. Seems cool but you gotta keep in mind that 60C is not all that much for a system to produce. I dont think this would be the best candidate for say a GCP case, but a NES or SNES would be fine.
