Ahhh.. Thank you!! Definitely gonna check these sites out. Custom = $$$ but if it's unique and I'm one of the few on the block that has it then its worth it. Thanks for reading my blog, especially the movie blog, really appreciate it!

Yup, definitely my first console and I still have my original. I played that thing day and night and burned out many power supplies too!
