[Console Collector / Tinkerer]

Hello Everybody,

Based in New Zealand

Originally purchased a Crystal Limited Edition Xbox back in the mid 2000's i ended up giving it to a mate for his kids

to enjoy, many years later i caught the console bug again i currently have 29 different model consoles many boxed but my favorite

is the OG Xbox  i have 10 in total over time I'm hoping to mod most of them and share the love

Cheers Evlbob

this also be true if its bulging
