Quote:To be fair, it's only the old Nintendo systems of mine that crapped out on me, and I know the Gameboy was an anomaly, but the original model NES was by far the worst-designed, shoddiest hardware I've ever owned. Again, to be fair, my Super NES, going on nine years of age, still works as good as the day I got it.
My NES still works, while my PS2 barely does anymore. Yeah, the NES sure was shoddily built!
Quote:But covering vents to keep dust out? That IS anal, especially since 99% of it gets in via air intakes while the thing is running.
Yes it is anal, but my systems are still in perfect condition because of my extreme care. Well, everything but Sony's piece of shit hardware. Covering the vents at night after you've cleaned your system helps keep dust out.
