Atari 2600 Black Edition $200
Commodore C64C $40
Amiga 600 $150
Super Nintendo $210

The Commodore 64C needed repairs hence the cheap value but the rest are expensive but they are in good working order. The Atari 2600 has been modded to use AV Output instead of RF Signals.

The Amiga keyboard layout I've got is identical to the U.S. Version, the system has a dual-kickstart rom switcher to switch between old programs and the only repairs had to be done to the amiga was the primary floppy disk drive and 2 mouses, other than that it's in good working order. The amiga has been recently modded with a CF-IDE Adapter with workbench 2.1 installed as well as WHDLoad the Registered version under my real name.

Recently I've acquired a Super Nintendo which is the PAL Version and is identical to all pal versions in Europe but the power plug layout is different otherwise they use the same voltages to power the system.

Wow, Australia seems to be the country, where I should sell my retro gear. 200 Australian Dollars for an A2600 junior?
btw: What's a 'modded' A600?

btw: I just bought an MP32C64 for my C128 .

I'll find out, if it's an alternative to the SD2IEC. Of course, it's not an Ultimate 1541, but if it's good enough to play all C64 one file prg, tap, p00 files, it'll probably fulfill my needs.

Yeah Australia is one of the countries where goods are expensive and are often in good conditions hence the high value. It's an Atari 2600 Darth Vader Model the original box but coloured black and modded to use av outputs.

A modded A600 is basically a modification to a machine to enhance the capabilities of what the machine can do, more than what it supposed to do.

EDIT: I'm also bidding on a complete set of an Atari 1040 STE with a Monochrome Monitor and Mouse with a a few sorftware but the cost is expensive too, in great condition from what I've seen.

I bought 8 broken A500 boards (all different Revs) on Ebay to try to fix them. (only 7 shown). I'll do a little writeup on each attempt.

So you'll be delidding that Haswell I assume seeing as you're watercooling the CPU?

This is why I went for the Kraken, to tame the Haswell Heat (sounds like a Basketball team ). The radiator is 280mm so uses 2 x 140mm fans, stock fans on the Kraken are too noisy so went for the Noctua fans as they are quieter.

Had to build mine twice as the first build wouldn't pass POST on the VGA diagnostic LED, worked fine out of the chassis so re-built and now working? Not stressed it yet, the Kraken has it idling around 30°C due to the uncommon heat just lately. Bioshock Infinite benchmark gave me 122fps which is double what my 2 x GTX460's gave me with the same settings so well chuffed so far.

I bought a complete and boxed Clarity 16 for my A1200. Never played with sound samplers in the past, so I thought it's a good opportunity to try one today.

[gnujon]

I just bought a brand new A1200 Magic Pack from Petro Tyschtschenko :-). (Well, I haven't received it yet, but I have just sent him the payment for it.)

I think that must be a stock photo, looks identical to what he sent me but mine came with the black power supply not the white one in the pic he sent - not complaining tho, just an observation.

Yeah, I'm sure it probably is just a stock photo.

Did some A1200's come with black PSUs? Must have looked kinda like the black C64 one? Actually, I didn't even realize until this year that the A1200 shipped with a lower wattage PSU than the A500. I did have a A1200 back in the day, but I bought it second hand and it came with an A500 PSU. Both are still running well to this day. (I guess I probably should replace the old A500 PSU with a good quality ATX one though. I haven't got a scope so I can't really be sure how clean the output is after all these years).

I'm sick of my laptop's tinny speakers and while I do possess decent headphones, it means I can't hear if my kids are messing when they've gone to bed (one of them is autistic and doesn't sleep well and tends to wander) so I've cobbled some pennies together after scouring thy Internet and purchased the Rokono Bass+ mini speaker. Reviews seem quite positive and seeing as I don't have much laptop space, it should be reasonable enough to get a better sound experience without breaking the bank.
