No progress, but I am going to the thrift store today, probably won't find an N64 though. I considered using the -08, but I have to concentrate on my halloween project. Should I start a worklog for that?

Royal, it wasn't just me who couldn't see the logo properly. It's a suggestion anyway.

Well, I found an N64 but it was $30 so I didn't buy it. The halloween project will include a fog chiller and automation for the fog machine, some lights, motion sensors, and I think I'll put a speaker out there too. It'll all be controller by an Arduino and a computer. I'm going to give it at least one automated mode and the ability to type in commands and turn stuff on and off.

Ordered squishy tacts. Was going to order screen and heatsink from DX, but the ultra-thin heatsinks I wanted are backordered. If I wait will they get them back in? If they don't, I'm considering ramsinks or a copper sheet.

Hopefully I'll actually start this project soon. But shipping from Hong Kong takes FOREVER, so don't bet on it.

Made some ghetto heatsinks.

These are the stock blocks from an N64 (the slimmer ones on the RCP and CPU) that I modified using a Dremel and a cutoff wheel. I went through three. Genuine Dremel ones seem to last longer than generic ones. No idea how well these will work or how to hold them on. They are nice and slim though.
