Hell, i could head to the nearest salvation army and pick up an old computer tower for $5 and gank the psu out of it.
For ION, you can use a asus a7n8x-la mobo. I see a few on ebay right now for like $30 and come with cpu and ram. I also see Ion ioboards for $25 and keys for less then $10

I found an asus a7n8x-la mobo with CPU and RAM. But I cannot find an IO board anywhere for the ION. I see one but it's $100. Can you show me where you found one for $25? If I buy the 2008 key, can I play the 2006 ION games as well? Only asking because I really prefer the XL series version of Photo Hunt.
Also the ION motherboard will work even with my touch screen controller from the XL? I can't believe they are compatible!
Though to be honest, I would probably prefer the MAXX.

Has a make offer. I think this seller jacked his price since lat time i bought them.
XL touch screen controller is only compatiable with ion 2012+ Anything lower you need a ion or force controller.
I suggest you just buy a i810 mobo and use that sapphire image. I can sell you a i810 mobo that will work with that sapphire image.

Great. I sent you a PM.
That is kind of weird about the XL screen controller. It works with ION 2012 but not ION 2009? Isn't that kind of backwards?

I think they either stopped trying to black list XL/Maxx controllers, or they used a updated version of the linux kernel that had built in support for the old legacy controllers (XL/Maxx)
ed12:
no
that's was just merit
when they ran out of the 1 touch screen controller
they re enter the proper Linux kernel
so the older gen 1's would work again
they did the same thing with hard drive branding (merit-001)
once they ran out and it was no longer. they had no choice but to un lock the branding
plus it did not hurt that a wack of Linux coders told them what end of the boat to get off and how fast to paddle
