Attach a portable 32 inch HD CRT. :D
Bring pallet jack.
Fantastic!

He could also get some car batteries to hook it into for awesome portable on the go action!
A Rambo packpack would be the perfect holding device for carrying it around! Then he can walk around in those warming slippers, keeping his drink warm on the mug warmer, keeping his head cool with the fan, keeping track of his pens, listening to "thunderstruck" and enjoying a nice game on the 32 HD CRT, all while taking a sunday stroll in the park!

And then he could use the pallet jack to sit on if all the benches are taken!

The ultimate gaming system for comfortable, portable on the go action!

You should add fins to your FC twin to make it more aerodynamic!
Paint a racing strip down the side to make the FC twin go faster!

Not to sound mean Redd, but I actually laughed, that is utterly horrid looking, why would you do that with the markers? I am a strong believer in leaving consoles the way they came unless they are defaced / yellowed.

That is a massive step down, I hope you were joking somehow.

Don't listen to emwearz, it looks amazing! The words are written perfectly and the paint job is done to perfection :)

It would have been much better if you didn't write on the console in black marker or glittery white. Your paint job isn't too terribly bad, but you went a bit heavy and too light in places. Next time you do something like this don't fucking write on it!

Oh dear.

It appears your FCTwin got stolen and replaced with a piece of shit while you were letting dry on your back porch. Hard luck man.

:lol: Like your graceful caring tact.

I saw this shortly after the fresh update post but didn't want to be the first critic.
Been holding back, but is the bottom the "before" pic?

Break out that sand paper, get rid of hand scribble and paint runs.
Very light 2-3 coats of paint and no writing!
You could buy small custom Power On stickers.
The LED lights look nice though.

It's a little rough, but here's my suggestion to make it better. You know, constructive criticism guys. :roll:

Sand any thick paint spots down a little. Give it another coat or two of paint. Go slow, not too thick, and let it dry in between coats. Don't make hand drawn labels for the buttons. Maybe you can find some stickers to put an 8, 16, and R next to the buttons. I personally wouldn't bother putting FC Twin back on, but if you buy a big pack you could just use more of them. If customizing it, why not put some cool sticker over that corner of the system as long as the oval part isn't raised?
