I've seen plenty of #GBA aftermarket shell replacements, but this is probably the sexiest one I've seen yet. Actual brass buttons and a D-pad and shell sound great. I'm not sure how heavy it is. With a camera brass is great because the weight, but depending on how much is used this think could be heavy for long play sessions. I'm too lazy to look it up, I assume it's been taken into account. Anyway, check it out! #retrogaming #boxypixel #mods #casemods https://youtu.be/sGTq6ybtQpk?si=d_lm9jGN5S83B0YS

"Hey Proph, do you still have any old computers?"

Yes & no. The case (along w/ the CD & floppy drives, apparently) still live. It's fairly empty beyond that. That particular case has the start of a mural on the other side.

It was going to get a plexi window but I had neither the tools nor the hand strength at the time.

Maybe someday... = )

20 years ago I was happy to demonstrate Pegasos #powerpc hardware at #Assembly 2003 #demoparty. As I recall the demo was arranged at very last minute and the devices only arrived on 2nd day of the event. The systems were set up to run the latest beta build of our #MorphOS operating system. Considering the ad-hoc nature of the whole deal it went surprisingly well in the end. Finnish #Amiga User Group (SAKU) was helping with much of the arrangements as I recall.

One of the best head-turner was the Pegasos system built into a microwave. This system had LCD screen behind the front glass, so at some point we got the epic idea of taking an interior shot of a real microwave oven in action and replacing the desktop background image with it. People would walk by, glance at the microwave and then their minds would get bent as the perspective did not change as expected. This resulted in a ton of people coming over asking about the system and taking photos.
