LOOK AT IT. IT IS SO CUTE
 
Ordering these parts tomorrow night to replace my current build, but keeping my crappy case and AMD R7 360 2GB video card for now:

By the way, I don't need the overclocking capability, so that's why I skimped on the K version of the 6700. I don't think any other site can offer me these low of prices with free shipping and no tax. :)

Did you try with the Scart cable labled "Mt-8888"? I've not seen one like that before, so it grabbed my interest and on looking, according to this page https://playoffline.wordpress.com/cable/ultra64/, it converts the S-video of an NTSC 64 to RGB. Of course not as good as true RGB from the source, but should get around any colour encoding issues. There's not much info on that cable and I had to use google translate, so it could be a bad translate or bad info and is just S-video over Scart (scart can deliver S-video).

It does have what may be a video encoder inside (can't make out the full markings), so if it does as the page says, it should give you colour without modding (although true rgb would still be better), unless it's broken or your scart socket is not wired for RGB. Appears to be produced by Blaze and making a cable like that (converting the highest quality signal an unmodded console can output) to RGB would make sense to get around colour encoding issues without modding. I'm not even sure if the RGB mod was even available when the console was new, some form of the cheaper method may have been, but the replacement DAC certainly was not, so producing a cable like that for imported consoles, would have been a good move.
I did try with it. It's dark as all hell though. I think it's what RetroRGB demonstrate at the bottom here, without vs with amp.

I took the casing off my N64 and found that the it's a NUS-CPU-03 so it's one of the easily modable versions.

Do I just get myself these and these?
I don't have any 75 ohm resistors nor any 0.1µF capacitors, so these and these too then? :P

Thank you for all the help <3

Those will do. Although you don't actually need the pcb. That's optional. You can just do it deadbug style and solder directly to the chip (bottom images on the mmmonkey page) if you want. That's how I done mine, as I couldn't be bothered with the extra work of mounting it on a pcb :D.

Resistors can be dropped to 1/4 watt if you can find them. 1/2 resistors may be a little big and akward to work with for the job.

Quick edit:
Oh actually, same shop (I think) has the 1/4 watt.

Smaller, will be easier to work with.

Ordered a Ultimate II + adapter for my C64 computer and bought a Aqua blue Jp import Vita on 3.60 and now I'm broke for a month, yet I work for it, so why not enjoy it:)

Bit premature but I can guarantee that the moment the 3DS eShop updates in a little under 23 hours, I'll be acquiring the new Phoenix Wright game. And if my info is correct, the Final Fight trilogy is due for release as SNES Classics too.

Aside from that I'm not buying much for a while. Taking some time to be an adult and finish off the legion of shiny things I already own instead of spending all my money on new ones and letting the bills pile up.

I was thinking about getting this, since I also got the Pikachu one, but personally I think the design is just...off somehow. Kinda like it's a mentally challenged Eevee or something ;O;O;

I got a JFWY 3200 DPI gaming mouse in the mail today. Not bad for a mouse that i only had to pay shipping on.

Now all i need is a nice blue LED backlit gaming mechanical keyboard and a nice blue LED gaming headset. Yeah i'm a sucker for blue, it just looks nicer and its not as aggressive as red LED's, heck even the fans in my case are all blue LED's
 
I recently bought a 10 dollar psn card and download sonic adventure 2, and along with that also bought grand theft auto IV,
surprisingly gamestop had it for 2.99 when my local pawn shop had it for 20 bucks....I consider that a steal
