It's definitely one of those builds that you should try. The NES is quite spacious compared to other consoles such as the PS2 or Xbox/360 which would allow the installation of low profile graphics cards if you can settle the motherboard in deeply enough into the bottom of the case. At the moment I haven't managed that and the graphics card is pushing the top half of the case up so that it won't close all the way.

I agree with Captain, have three NES's at my house, though it would be cool to do it with my SEGA gensis as well, and have been wanting to give it a try. You should consider doing a guide if you haven't already it would help me and probably quite a few other people, if you had the time.
