Quest Complete

After years of patience and stalking eBay, my grail has been acquired. Now to get with @NeMesiS and pimp this baby out.

I'm very jealous.

I was just looking at these on eBay. There's a couple in the $260 range. Am I missing something? That seems so cheap?

Don’t question it. Right after I bought this one, another guy sent me an offer for $218. Had to get this one with matching controller and extras. It was a steal

I'm butthurt now. Guess I'll buy one. lol. Nemesis is the man to consult about such things. I would even do the STM32 mod with HDMI in order to extend the most honor possible.

After much delay, I’ve finally got around to getting this beauty started. I’m a stickler for details and my OCD makes me do everything extremely slow lol. She has been fully dissembled, thoroughly cleaned, recapped and pasted, 128MB RAM, and HD+ ready. Taking frequent breaks to tackle weekend chores, but it’s happening and has been a fun time. I get way too much satisfaction taking these things apart and detailing them. 
 

@Bowlsnapper I should probably go ahead and get a startech adapter housing from you, but I’d rather wait for the clear version also. Guess I can hold off on that one part for now as it would be the easiest thing to swap out, being right on top. 
 

Should have a finished product tonight.

What you've done here, is basically what I want to do with a Halo Edition I have. 128MB, Nemesis Xenium Ice (I have like 3 massive bundles). Either with an HD+ or OpenXHD. REALLY nice job dude.

Translucent smoke black PLA. What do you think, Marty ( @MadMartigan)? Should I pull the trigger?

Oh wow! I definitely would not turn that option down. You’re gonna be the one to push me over the edge and start looking into a 3D printer.

Look at the Elegoo Nepture 4. It's what I use and it ROCKS. Puts all others in it's price range to shame. I would get the Neptune 4 MAX now, though. Its bed is much larger and will allow you to print the "Slim" case.

Also found this for the Halo Editions:
