I've been looking for one of these for quite some time, glad i found an affordable and working specimen nearby.Quote:

Quite stuffed with expansion cards too :D
The only downside i've discovered so far is the damage to the top left corner of the monitor (bent plastic)
Picked up an Electroluminescent (EL) Backlight from Kitsch-Bent for my original Game Boy.

The graphics are more of a blue color than the original black, but the pictures make it look much more blue in color than it actually is at a good contrast level. The background is also more of the original green color at normal contrast levels.

Wow, that looks really smart - a lot nicer than the front-light add-ons that were available during the Game Boy's time on the market. Being electroluminescent, I assume the impact on the battery life isn't very high?
What we all wouldn't have done to get a solution like that back in the day, eh? :lol:
Hi heather, I'd luv to add one to my GB, were did you get it from?
The link's in Heather's post - click on the product name. ;) We can blame the forum software's lack of underlining for links, here.
Lol, sorry I missed it. :)
@NinjaRabbit
You are correct, the battery life is not severely impacted with this add-on. The only thing people need to keep in mind is that electroluminescent inverters make a high pitch noise that can be irritating to some people. I personally don't think it's too bad for this device, but I think it is more of a person by person thing.
Here's a video on why the inverters make noise. I don't think the one in this mod is any worse than the first inverter they show in the video.

got a few bits and bobs just latley.
mainly the Haf 922 case.
also the 240mm radiator.
and some led lights to make it look that extra bit gay. (i actually like to see in my case at night incase i have sprung a leak lol)
Basically what i did was. shoe horn 2x 120 rads and 1 240 rad a 2 drive res bay. pump and all the pipes in to the haf 922 case (some one really needed to tell me that the haf 922 case is a stupid design and needs to be like 10mm taller so the 240 rad would fit perfectly.)
any way managed to make it all work and pretty happy with it.
il probably take a picture after a while.
the next thing i need is one of those 2 port usb 3.0 things that plug in to my usb 3.0 header and strap on to an expansion slot.
here is a pick of temps and fan speeds now. "prime 95 running for over an hour" with an overclock of 4ghz

They also have back light options in a lot of colors, it LED so no buzzing
Today, I got an ultra teeny tiny notebook.

No, not the computer kind! ;) It does have around 100 pages, though, so quite substantial for one of these.
