I was being sarcastic about the 1000 people i just thought it was funny they had this for sale.  and i have seen people use this to resurrect an old nes into a htpc stuffing a ipx mobo into it.

Heh, I'd rather it remain an NES - but to each his own.  Though I do wonder when that day will come we'll start coming down on people butchering the NES because the number of working and/or easily fixable ones are dwindling. It's still a ways off - I see NES's floating around almost every other week.  And their insides can be reincarnated into something awesome like this:

My NES from my childhood died a few years ago but all it need was a new 72 pin connector and i got a gold plated one off ebay for $12  shipped i think.  It now better than when i first got it.  I played my dads atari before they got me an NES but that is where i first fell in love with video games.  Yeah I'm young i know.

If you cut your gaming teeth on an NES when it was current, you're not as young as you think.  ;)   But I think there were some members on here who remember video games the first time it was a fad (pre-1983) and arcades were almost everywhere - so you're not as old as I'm accidentally implying either.

Sweet Deal!  :woot

I just bought 100 for $22.00 shipped.

As a guy you likes to tinker and build stuff. I appreciate cheap components like these switches, even if it is not arcade microswitch caliber. Each assembly comes with 2 switches, so I just bought 200 single pole switches for $22, and the On/Off locking switches for the power button can be changed to momentary switches (according to user reviews).

Cheap cheap cheap!

Thanks, JcProAm! I appreciate the link.
