There are no other guns unfortunately.  If the shape is the only thing that bothers you, find a gun with the shape that you like open it up and gut it.  Gut your act labs gun and install the guts of your act labs gun and insert them into your perferred gun casing.   Post us picks, as I think that there only a few others that have attempted it.

Actually; the guts of the AL lightgun are pretty tidy and small. It isn't the hardest thing on earth to do. You can keep an eye out for my soon article on it.

Hmmm... sarcasm... or truth... (let's explore both) I hate it when I can't tell...

Sarcasm: It isn't so hard to do because the Al lightgun is smaller than other guns. [Assuming you meant "what are you talking about, it IS hard"]

Serious: The USB on my computer is totally F***ed! Maybe I can get it working soon... if not do they make like a serial XD Card reader? I may resort to having to get one... I have a Fujitsu FinePix A200 and when I hook it up; my computer bluescreens saying something about phisical memory... (this is XP mind you! It does the same with my new printer with a memory card reader in it, and my MP3 player!). Maybe I should just buy a PCI USB card; everything on my Mobo stinks. Maybe I can get my camera's drivers installed on my notebook and get my notebook on my network... or use kinko's free internet (they told me I am abusing it last time [after ~ hour 4 LOL])
[Assuming you meant you wanted pics of the inside]

Has your USB always been broken? You may want to check to make sure it's properly enabled in your BIOS.

Nope, when I first got my Micro-Crap Internation (MSI) mobo, it worked... now... it doesn't  :'( I don't even remember exactly when it broke... the wierness started with my MP3 Player though...

Even if they make a serial XD card reader which I HIGHLY doubt, why not just get a PCI USB card?  You could find a 1.1 card for under $20.

Because my Micro-Crap International Mobo only has 3 PCI slots and 2 are being used! I am totally pissed with this mobo... but it was free so I shouldn't be... (PS it also has NO AGP slot!) Why would I even dare build a system out of this!?

(Last time I build an entire computer around a part my friend said he didn't want!)

If You haven't re-installed Winxp since the problem started, I 99% guarantee that a re-install will solve your usb problems.
