I just picked up this ps3 cecha01 unit from someone at work that just had it laying around for a whopping $15 its on firmware 4.15 (well soon to change to rebug 4.84.2 as soon as im done enabling cfw. This will be my 2nd a01 model and was wondering if theres a market for these anymore.
I'd honestly say refurbish it, change thermalpaste between the chips and IHS, upgrade the HDD to a nice size etc.
It's got PS2 hardware build in so it has 100% BC.
Nice price tho! I got a CECHC given to me for free a while a go.
