I'm not sure if I'm in awe or terrified.

Is that screen connected to the NES? If so, what screen is that? I've been wanting to get a small screen for my NES but haven't started researching which one to get or how to connect it.

It's just a cheap reversing monitor for automotive use. They're dirt cheap on eBay or at local surplus shops and it's wired internally so it takes power and video from the inside of the NES.

How fast does that drain the batteries?

Honestly the batteries don't seem to drain much faster but my main issue is the noise the kit creates. There's a loud nonstop hum/buzz that actually became annoying enough for me to not even use this anymore. I just use my other MGB with a regular backlight now. Except for recording I use a DMG.

I call it PaigeStar.

Made this nice lil guy a few months back.
Clearboy with a white backlight painted on the inside with spazstix holographic glitter and black spraypaint.
Couldn't get a very good picture of it powered on. The backlight made the glitter harder to photograph.
Pretty stoked about the way this came out, though! I'm planning on trying this again with a clear MGB.

Came out beautiful, that's a paint job I'd pay for smile

Then what exactly is the power supply? I don't see any cords coming out of the MGB in that picture :S? Is the power source still the 2xAAA cells?

Yes batteries. The converter board is inside of every gameboy ever.
