if I wasn't completely broke right now, I would buy this in an instant.

It's currently only 66p ($1), I would put a bid in for this if I knew the postage to the UK... Though sadly postage from the U.S. to the UK is usually high which steers me away from some of the coolest items. :(

It would cost $38 USD to ship to the UK and I am very willing to ship it internationally. eBay won't let me add international shipping at this point, but I'll ship it anywhere

Could anyone spare Diggs? I really need the money for school. Student loans are becoming harder and harder to come by and scholarships are only going so far. Thanks!

This thing looks damned sweet.

Won't they pull this off, though? 'Cause you know, unlicensed modification, or some other bullcrap?

From a console released in 1985, I doubt anyone could care less.

You can never tell. I never see NES/Famicom multicarts on eBay, and those are from the 80s.

I'm pretty sure it's legal; I'm only using a plastic shell, the power and reset buttons, and an LED light. Everything else is custom.

What would your asking price be?
I'm very interested in this.

If this one sells well I may try and turn custom computer building into a business and if so you'll be the first one I contact. Do me a favor and send me an email at jasonnunya(at)gmail.com

As for the Via comment: The C3 series was horrible but the C7 Eden series isnt that bad, especially if all you want to do is emulation, movie watching, web surfing, and some older games like Quake 3 or Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

You don't have to have paypal, you can pay using any major credit card. :)

I wish DCEmu would post a news item about it.
