Epic case, man!

I got a free copy of Venture for the Colecovision at a garage sale today. Not bad for the end of the day. I just need a Colecovision now.

 

[samjc3]

10$ wow! lemme guess, youve got like a dual core pentium inside there?

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Judging by the sticker on the front, it's an AMD Phenom II of some breed.

Wonderful choice.

 

[samjc3]

i would guess the stickers came on the case though.

 

[Thursty]

Nah the Old Stickers were "EVGA" "nVidia" and "Pentium 4"

I kept the EVGA and nVidia, and added my ASUS and Phenom II x4 Sticker

My Specs:

ASUS M-3498039somethingsomething Mini ATX AM2
AMD Phenom II x4 940 OC'd to 2.5GHz
eVGA nVidia 9800 GT Superclocked
3 GB Dual Channel DDR3 Ram
250g HDD
Fans blah blah
Drives blah blah

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Wait, your X4 is only 2.5 GHz? Mine was 3.1 stock. (Technically, it's an unlocked Phenom II X2.)

 

[Thursty]

Yeah mines a bit older, Stock 2.3 lol I can take it further, just no need at the moment.

I got 3 dreamcasts, an original xbox, a pikachu n64, a mini snes, and a genesis 3. All I have to do is pay the donor's phone bill in about three weeks.

 

[samjc3]

[zeturi]

Oh. Well, here's to hopin they don't have a data plan.

EDIT: Nah, they've got unlimited text, web and talk for $80. I should be fine.

Not a garage sale purchase, but a pretty good deal nonetheless, I think.

Went to GameStop today and picked up "new" copies of both Sega Rally Revo and Taito Legends (both for the PC) for a grand total of $15. I'm quite pleased since I've wanted a copy of Sega Rally Revo ever since I bought my PS3.

I got both Fable II and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (360) brand new for $10 each last Friday at Target. I also still have to take pics of the awesome snes lot I got a while back (but I'm too lazy : P).

 

[Thursty]

N64 w/ cords and 2 controllers, Blue, and DK64 CONTROLLER $25
Zelda Collection for Gamecube(the WindWaker Preorder game) $4

 

[Jidan]

Pray that it isn't one of Bibin's clones!

Super joy 3, $1,

I bought the last commercially produced 8 track tape made today.

and it was made in 2009. Here is the ebay link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

It was $23, but for something like this, it was worth every penny.

 

[themadhacker]

I got a 16 gb ipod touch for $40.

it works great, just the headphone jack is loose so half the time you are only hearing the right channel. but it has a speaker so who cares?

 

[zeturi]

If you're willing to solder to it, it may just be a broken solder joint. That's how I fixed a free slim ps2. Broken joint on the power jack.

 

[themadhacker]

well since they are cheap enough, I just bought a replacement jack for it on ebay.
