My mint PCE CD-ROM2...

PCEngineFX · 02/26/2008, 02:24 AM

Finally done did it and went all out on this baby on ebay recently (as some of you may know). Just got it today...mint-in-box PCE CD-ROM2. Not a fingerprint nor scratch on her...

Also got my PCE briefcase (not mint, but the box is pretty mint) which I will have some shots of shortly.

in love!!

Joe Redifer · 02/26/2008, 05:17 AM

Nice!

If I were to massively overpay for something PCE related, it would be one of these (plus IFU and PCE, of course). My PCE is reletively white, but still not mint.

This is so much cooler than a $900 copy of Dynsatic Hero...

Glad to see it was as described...congrats

rolins · 02/26/2008, 10:31 AM

Wow, that is sexy.

Hardly ever seen one that white before.

guyjin · 02/26/2008, 10:39 AM

sexeh!

Nazi NecroPhile · 02/26/2008, 10:56 AM

Where the eff did my post go? Was it too full of awesome for this thread to handle?

Anyway, that thing is sweeeeeet! I hate to be a nit-pickin' ass, but what's the yellowish dot on the front seam between the top and bottom halves?

Yep, it's that white. No color correction!

Wow, I didn't notice that. I'll take a look on the unit tonight to see if it something real or part of the photo.

MissaFX · 02/26/2008, 02:20 PM

That sure is a beauty! And I agree, money well spent, especially compared to people paying 300-900 dollars for a game with shrinkwrap on it.

thats just some jizz caused by the pure awesomeness of the drive!

Sinistron · 02/26/2008, 08:18 PM

Damn- that is a beaut.

esteban · 02/26/2008, 08:26 PM

Goddam that is gorgeous.

Plus, Aaron, the composition and focus (sharpness) of this photo are killer. I love it.

termis · 02/26/2008, 08:58 PM

As other have said, extremely nice shot. I can almost smell that new, fresh out of the box plastic-smell just looking at the photo.

spenoza · 02/26/2008, 10:51 PM

Shiny... **hypnotized**

Take many pictures of your shiny find! There are many excellent avatar pics and desktops that could come from that thing.

So funny you say that - I did smell the plastic and I swear it still has that new plastic(ly) scent.

Thanks esteban. I take pride in anything I shoot.

PCEngineFX · 02/27/2008, 12:19 AM

Just shot this one...this time more artsy. Probably be using a shot like this in the Turbo Memoirs.

nectarsis · 02/27/2008, 12:20 AM

NICE

BTW..was that a mark on the unit..or just in the picture?

PCEngineFX · 02/27/2008, 12:24 AM

Oh yah....I just looked at it and it was some kind of red paint that was sticking itself to the plastic...I used my fingernail and took it off no problem. It's mint again!

nectarsis · 02/27/2008, 12:30 AM

Extra bonus...your prize was well fought for

TR0N · 02/27/2008, 12:44 AM

Congrats those setups are sweet there's been times i thought about getting one.

Still the,CDROM2 seems to fragile to me i'm afraid it would break afther a few run throughs.

Let alone finding one that's in mint shape that works.

I always sniff the instruction manuals of brand new games. It's damn intoxicating!

By the way, I expect an update to the TurboMemoirs with pictures like that. Hurry before it turns yellow!!

geise · 02/27/2008, 11:39 AM

Holy hell! That is one of the most amazing pce cdrom2's I've seen in...well...ever! Very nice shots with the camera. I love the original shot you posted. Nice depth of field. Congrats on an amazing ebay bid. Worth every penny if you ask me. It makes me want to search for one as well. Not NIB but close.

Arjak · 02/27/2008, 11:44 AM

Congrats, Aaron! It looks awesome. When I get my Duo-R with the S-Video and Region Switch, I hope it looks as good and fresh as that!

The pictures are beautiful, but in my opinion, I like the first one better. You can get a better look at the system.

Hope you enjoy your purchase!
