I've had my Gamecube pretty much since launch day, about 2 months after launch, and i'll admit I haven't taken very good care of it. :smirk:

I never dusted it "many dust bunnies in that grill", dropped it about a half dozen times "actually my dumb ass friends would always trip over the cords", and finally it kicked the bucket about a week or so ago, or so I thought.

So some 5+ years after abuse, and all I had to do was break it open and shove a plastic knife in it...



Ok so maybe it's not exactly the best method I could have used , but hey it's working!

Regardless of my abuse "and lack of decent tools", I gotta say this was one very well designed and versatile system. One of the best ever imho.
