Hello, I have been reading these board for many many months now. I have even bought several parts for my cab that I am going to build. I already bought an IPAC-2, 22 buttons, etc. Anyway, I am getting ready to actually start building my cab. Thats why I have put a couple interesting items on eBay. Once both of these sell, I will have enough funds to build an awesome cab. So go take a look at these 2 auctions and just remember...you are helping me fund my cab ;)
I'm not asking you to bid on these auctions, but if you know anyone who would remotely be interested in either, please show them or have them email me or whatever.
I know this is my first post on this site, but it is definitely not my last. I hope in the future I can contribute some information that could help someone else.

I know neither of these are the best craftsmanship, but hey, I made them myself and I think they are cool ;)

Those are two very cool objects! The Bud computer is very funny and at a good price.
What do you have left to get for your cab?

I love the games in a PC. That would reduce a lot of the cable clutter in my TV hutch. Too bad there's no Jaguar.....
Also, what connector did you use to mod the NES? My NES quit working a long time ago, it got to where I had to blow on the edge connector, put the cart in just right and sacrifice a young goat in order to get the darn thing to work.

I put that i the first sentence in the auction.
"A few months ago I decided to build my own ultimate game system. I originally got the idea while watching Tech TV and seeing a similar game box called "Yoshi's Box". After I saw that I was hooked and intent on making my own. "

I checked ebay right after this thread started.... lots of 72 pin connectors for the NES on there... plus, I'm sure Googling might turn up a few direct links...

For the price of that bud computer you definitely got my bid. ;D

You need a new 72-pin connector. They're pretty cheap on ebay. I've fixed and resold a few dozen NES's so I think I'm qualified to say that it's not difficult in the least. Provided there isn't a lot of corrosion on the NES board or you have a power supply issue, a new 72-pin will stop the blinks for the most part. It would also behoove you to clean the contacts on your cartridges w/ isopropyl alchohol and q-tips.

Less than $10 shipped. I ordered one and also some N64 joystick replacement parts, the kids ruined them playing Mario Party.
