[NESBest]

You can cut off the metal shielding/grounding strips on the side; that's it, I think. You do have to leave a bit to ground to, though.

Meh, you can't cut down much. You might as well not portablize it, unless you want to lug it around, go with a Genesis v3. You can do some pretty nice mods to the Genesis v2 though. Painting, overclocking, B&W video, inverted video...
