Trash to treasure: rebuilding a NES Toploader with the OpenTendo and adding RGB!

This week we received another Toploader NES that was destroyed by water damage. Instead of throwing it away, let's build a new Toploader from scratch using Redherring32's new OpenTendo Toploader project! From there, we will add an NESRGB board to make the video and audio quality better than ever!
