    Look at the state of the gold finish on this Zelda cart. Looks like it's been dug out of the ground

    I kinda like it in a really odd way.

    Edit - on the subject of Zelda, what the hell is with all these ugly ass console mods I keep seeing lately?! ack, such a waste of a NES!!

    £32 warranty for UK customers. Haven't come across that before, another way to get more money off you. Bit like Argos and their "would you like 1 year cover with that..." crap. :rolleyes:

    Although I do like my painted consoles, I only do it to disfigured ones. I dont understand themeing consoles for games though. Although some of them can be cool, like this mega man one, which is only because of the colours that I like it really. Be better withough MM on it imo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVofoLKbQw8


    In fact that guy does a great job painting consoles and they look amazing in terms of workmanship. He gets paid a nice bita scratch for it but some of the ones just looks horrible afterwards so I couldnt bring myself to do it. A punisher skull and lightning on a NES WTF!

    I kind of do want to paint a PS1 like a ZX spectrum though

    The blue finish on that looks well, but I wouldn't be mad on the stickers. They're just those decals I bought from someone on ebay a while ago. They're nice and all, but they don't really add anything to that NES I think.

    Check out how much this Ecco Jr. ended for. I picked it up a few years ago for about €30 delivered from AUS. It's missing the booklet, but still...that's some leap in price!

    Lad in the Uk selling an empty sega Nomad shell for £15. I was in contact with him and he'll post for £10.

    Might be a good starting point for a Snes handheld project or something.

    I could fit a Raspberry Pi board in there :rolleyes:
    And a screen and plenty of USB storage. But I did say I wouldn't buy anything until the end of the month.
    Hmmm

    Wonder how he ended up with that or what happened to the innards. D-pad and buttons are great on them.

    My thoughts exactly, how the hell do you end up with an empty Nomad?? Unless he had a screen modded one which developed a fault & he needed repair parts. The new screens are hot glued in so not the easiest yoke to get out if you need to

    If I got that case it would nearly cost the same as a Raspberry Pi board itself.
    So, I'll give it a miss this time me thinks.

    Might also be handy to do a case swap if you have a not so clean and scratch free Nomad.

    I was trying to figure out how it ended up like that myself. It's really odd.

    He either -

    Tried to fix a broken Nomad but was unable to - and is too lazy to put it back together.
    Or
    Tried to mod it and broke the thing.
    Or
    Took the innards out for another project (absolute sacrilege if so, as cheap Megadrive clone handhelds are all over the place)
    Or
    Has taken the whole concept of selling his collection a bit far and decided to break down everything into parts :confused:

    Just paint your legs. You might as well, as the tightness of some jeans is horrific!

    Ah well, that's the iPad 1 sold. O2 Recycle offered €131.

    Just sold mine in Gamestop for €220. Offer is limited so if anyone is thinking of selling their iPad 1, this is the best price online or offline.

    Now for an iPad 3. :D

    Sold my iPad 1 for 370 a few weeks ago. I did include a few extras with it though. Think I'll donate the iPad 2 to the girlfriend when I get the new one.

    Now, hopefully they get a bit of stock in ireland. Or I might just order it online and wait the 1 or 2 weeks it'll take.

    How would you cover and paint the tiny font decal on the NES cart flap?

    I'd say he made a stencil of it, painted over the old one and stenciled on the new one.

    I actually talked to that fella before. He uses a laser cut stencil and paints it on that way.

    Haha stop trying to do an o1s1n on me! Is the iPad 3 available to pre order anywhere?

    I might be away on business in Jersey, London and Dubai for a bit of April so pondering a tax free one. If not, I have a 15% off code for the Apple store I could use...

    Not in Ireland. But people have started to receive them in the US and the reviews and tear downs are out now. No surprise that its the same as the iPad 2, as in mostly battery.

    Doesn't the UK get them tomorrow morning?

    Dunno. I thought the UK release was the same as Eire? What's the story with Apple Store pre-ordering? Will they announce the time or something to go online and order? I'm not used to this Apple fanaticism lark (mainly because I don't really give a hoot, I just need an iPad 3 to travel).

    You can buy it tomorrow in stores in the UK or grab it online now.

    Not sure about pre-orders for Ireland but its available from the 23rd of this month in shops(if you manage to grab one of the 5 iPad's they get in stock).
    Nothing about pre-orders on the Irish apple site just yet.
