If someone will trade me a Mini NES(read my sig) then I will make one!

Ok so here are my questions for if I manage to get one!

1: Should I tear apart a NES Mini or are they to rare or something?

2: Is the Cold Heat soldering iron a good one? I can get one at the Walgreen's a mile from my house!

3: What kind of screen should I use backlight or light it with some LCD's?

4: Do you think this would make a nice case? http://www.polycase.com/item/ag-85.html

1. Adding a cart slot to a NOAC would be smaller

2. Its terrible, the idea is good, but the thing itself is pretty garbage.

3. The Psone screen has the most info. But if its cheap you're after, you can get an Xbox screen for about $40 USD

4. Yes

Ok then whats a good iron to use? I don't want to use a NOAC but I guess it will be cheeper. Where is a good one google turned up nothing and I don't like buying off e-bay(and i'm not 18 yet and dont have paypal)

Most people just use a $15 Radioshack iron.

Heres a link to a screen for $40, http://www.amazon.com/Zenith-XBox-Displ ... B0009YLTDE

I don't like seeing NES's ripped apart, even for such a good cause.

yobo would be the easiest of the noacs to use as it already has a cart slot attached and its pretty small.

Well I plan on not cutting the actual motherboard at all, I am going to hot glue into the case some separators (they are long things you can put screws in) then screw in the motherboard!

Anyway I am probably going to do a SNES Mini.

That'd be a good idea.
