The case is actually in a lot better condition than my other one and it doesn't look like it's been in a flood. No rusty screws and the only downside are the keys (I have spares now) and it seems that Nick's heatsink is floating around, which I knew as the seller had demonstarted.

It even has it's joystick topper :)

First things first, I need to get it apart and see what, if any, damage the heatsink has done.

Yeah, does it drop sand out when you shake it @rubber_jonnie ?

Quick delivery!

Just make sure that you keep the two of them separate or there might be a multitude of small Enterprise 64 clones all over the place!

Well I knew you were getting another one, just didn't think it'd be so quick.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
