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. |

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: http://www.stupidfingers.com/projects/nintoaster/ |

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. |

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. |
