My apologies for the delays in getting these up, I was away from work and my computer for most of this past week on account of my fiancée being in from out of state. Anywho, people wanted to see DMG pics, so here we are:

This first pic is of cases that have had successful engravings on them. The color is a little off because this was shot under incandescent light. Now, these are cases which were already clean and looking nice to begin with. Cases which are badly UV damaged will have much less desirable results, and can get strange mottling and such, as you can see here:

Retrobrite-treated cases will have an identical problem, since engraving them will cut down into lower layers of the plastic which have not been touched by the reaction, so the mottling will reappear.

It should also be obvious that DMG case backs, as well as the ASM reproductions, are not great candidates for engraving to begin with, as the characteristic "ridges" molded into the backs take away almost all the usable room on the backside. Kitsch's cases have a distinct advantage in that regard, being much more flat and open on the backside.

That would be fun, and a much bigger canvas to play with besides.

Love this white shell you made & had up on kitsch, gives me some ideas for future ones. will definitely be in contact

You're a wonderful human being. As soon as I think of something rad for you to engrave (well, assuming I've also figured out how to LSDJ) I'll hit you up. I'm curious about engraving on an NES as well.

I have done them on original gray DMG cases, and will be providing pics soonish. Have not tested on PILs, but I doubt they'd be any different. I have not tested on ASM's cases, but would be curious to do so.

Have you done any tests on original DMG cases or ASM cases? Also, there's a fair amount of open space on the top of an NES...

I am going to begin offering a custom engraving service for DMGs now.

Here is how it works:
If you want me to design something for you or customize a design I've already done for you, just ask, I'm happy to do that for you. If you want to do the design work yourself for maximal control, download this design template and work with it in Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, or any other vector graphics program of your choice. I prefer Inkscape, it's free and open source! The file is scaled 1:1, so if you don't mess with the scale you can be sure everything will line up perfectly.

Ultimately, you want to wind up with something that looks sorta like this, so i can engrave it for you on my laser.

Pricing works like this:
If you want me to provide a Kitschboy case and engrave it
Full case engraving, front and back sides: $50
Half case engraving, front OR back: $30

If you want to mail me your own case and I engrave it
Full case engraving, front and back sides: $40
Half case engraving, front OR back: $20

Extras: If you want a Kitschboy case with the matching buttons, screen protector, shielding, and battery terminals, add $3.

Some final notes: if you want a Gameboy engraved, you need to send me just the case. Do NOT send the electronics if at all possible, and keep the screws, buttons, and anything else that might fall off at home. All I want is the plastic shell. Also, I cannot at this time engrave onto shells which have been painted or treated with RetroBrite solutions. Paint is volatile and can do very strange and bad things when lasers hit it, and cases which have been RetroBrite treated get mottled and ugly results when engraved.

If you want to have engraving and paint, I suggest you get your shell engraved before painting it.

Apple IIgs update: (note that IIgs goodies are take everything for $75 + shipping or make an offer if you want parts.)
MicroDrive IDE and 4mb RAM cards sold! Everything else is still here.

- 2x Apple IIgs systems, with working PSUs.
- 1mb RAM card, fully populated. This was the standard issue card that most late-model IIgs machines shipped with.
- 2x each of 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drives, all working. Also, tons of software on floppy. All the discs are made from disk images found online, and were written recently. I can't promise they don't have any bit-rot or some such, but I suspect they all work. I also have sealed NOS packages of floppies in both sizes.
- Original IIgs keyboard and mouse. This is the really nice original IIgs keyboard with Alps mechanical switches under each key. A great compact keyboard, and if nobody wants it, I'm probably gonna convert it to USB. (NOTE: Keyboard is available again!)
- Original RGB monitor.
- Finally, I have cables, manuals, and other goodies for those who are interested.

Well, if you want to send me both, you may have the cards. I want!

Yeah I do hahaha.  Haven't really touched it but I have the NeoBIOS Masta with it too.

You still have that thing? Dag yo. You haven't modded it at all, have you? I'm sorely tempted to have it back...

ha, part of me wants to trade back the MVS for the 4mb and Microdrive cards.  Would you want to do that?  FYI, I don't have one, but I could tell you where to order a Vectrex for like $90.

Trade stuff I want:
Anything Neo Geo (preferably MVS, but I'd go for Pocket stuff too)
Jamma arcade stuff
Vintage gaming stuff, unmodded.
I am not really interested in Gameboy stuff. Sorry guys.

For a Vectrex I'd give you all of it, no questions asked! And pay for all the shipping!

rygD: make your offer. I tried to get people to lowball me over on the vintage computer forums, and nobody would even try. If it's insulting I'll be sure to bluster and turn red in the face, and then probably talk you up a few more bucks.

Concerning the mouse, it's the standard IIgs platinum rectangle.

Finally, the 4meg card is the one sold by Briel Computers, which you can check out here: http://www.brielcomputers.com/wordpress/?cat=22

It is, to my knowledge, only compatible with the IIgs. However, if you wanted a IIgs to go with the card, I think the cards are worth more than the rest of the IIgs. Heck, if you bought both cards, I'd throw in the rest of the IIgs.

For everything, it really is.

Nooooooo!  Dude, that is such a good price.
