That case doesnt support external 5.25 drives, you would need something like this

The drive is a internal drive and the Fractal Design Pop Air XL case has 2 hidden 5.25" drive bays at the bottom. If It doesn't fit, it doesn't matter.

Yeah and i like that its hidden. Realistically I probably will only use the drive a hand full of times, but it's nice to still have the option to use it
It's not clear if you can fit a drive at the same time as a 360 AIO radiator that extends past the bottom fan. I hope they left enough of a gap in there.
 
A Sphero BOLT.
The most cool thing about it is the little 8x8 display; It ain't much, but still very cool.

Among that, other improvements include a front and back LED, both of which are RGB, a light sensor, 4 infrared transceivers, 2 hour battery life, (though that also means 6 hours to charge from dead) and a magnetometer.
But there's one glaring downside to it; No force band support! Like, sure, I get that it came out after they stopped supporting the force band, but come on! It'd also be nice if there was a proper API/SDK for it for PCs so someone could make their own apps for it, but whatever. I'll probably make a blog post about it in january.

Also, while I understand it not working with the original, rather fun Sphero 2.0 app, BOLT's predecessor, the SPRK+, DOES as far as I know. I get that the company is more education-focused now, but considering how they still sell the terrain park among other things, I think it wouldn't hurt to bring back some of the older apps like Chromo or The Rolling Dead with support for Mini, SPRK+, and BOLT. That plus an Ollie Mini would fucking ROCK, but in theory I could just take a sphero mini, gut it, and then make an Ollie Mini myself. Only hard part would probably be moving the blue taillight to where the USB port is; they're on opposite sides of the board, putting the USB port at the "front", which would interfere with the face.

Found a lot of stuff I've not tried before, and just some generally fun snacks!
That looks really good. I could go with getting a supply of drinks and Japanese snacks.

Not my pics. I got them from a random Japanese review site.

Hori GCN-Style Pad for Wii (and comparison with the purple GCN controller).

I tried to get rid if the yellowness, but that can only be done by replacing the sticks or applying a grip to it. There's nothing wrong with it other than that.

The only thing that's missing is the vibration as the controller is very lightweight.

This controller was also released in white and blue. Here's a picture of the blue one:

Bought a cheap copy of Saints Row to play on Xbox 360, it says it's in acceptable condition, but as long as I can play the game that'll be fine.

They should have just remastered the original Saints Row for the modern consoles than that.. thing they did.

This is amazing!!! I never knew it existed...

Also, the yellowness on a video game device is reason to be proud, especially if it is a working piece, do not stress out on that and have fun!
