Well, this I why I like having smaller machines, you can work on 2 at the same time :)

Aaaand this arrived just now, a cheap buy off eBay:


Powers on then off almost immediately but AFAIK no yellow light. Looking at the state of the vents it's got a thermal problem, but at least on this one, the case hasn't melted, so even if it doesn't work, I can replace the case on my previously repaired melty PS3.

Do you still have room for all that stuff ?
