WOOT! May 2013 pickups!
Blumpkin:
Nice! Now I just need to pick up a non-mini version of a PS1: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-In-Box-TRANSLUCENT-Clear-Shell-Case-for-Sony-PlayStation-Very-Rare-/140978437886?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBSA%3AUS%3A3160&item=140978437886&nma=true&si=CTZT7fvK4eqKbfNdDyKzNs6QVE0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
wiggy:
Nice! Those are hard to come by these days.
Quick tip from experience, they're EXTREMELY brittle, so be very careful not to over-tighten the screws. You'll snap the screw bosses with almost no effort :(
Blumpkin:
Noted. I just finished clear casing my Wii a few days ago. It sucked because the one triwing screwdriver I had stripped with only a few screws left to reassemble. I've since gotten some more, but I hated having open holes while I waited for new triwing bits.
Any special tools required for the PS1?
wiggy:
Nope, just a philips :)
Megatron:
Finally ordered something I have been wanting for a long time...

Also, found a used Xbox 360 controller at a thrift store for $3.90. It was marked as a Computer controller, but it is an official Microsoft 360 controller. Even came with the play & charge kit. I love it when people have no idea what they're selling. Also grabbed a Sega Saturn turbo controller for a dollar, and a set of 2 wireless PS1 controllers (no analog sticks) for $4.
