Time to revisit and rebuild a RGH 1! I bought this console back in 2012 being told it would be a Jasper RGH 1, however I was sent this mess which has somehow still held up to the test of time. This console was previously butchered by GameStop with an 8.7v fan mod and the dreaded bolt mod or X-Clamp "fix" that involves replacing the X-Clamps with giant screws/bolts and washers. This is the only console I had on hand which still had this dreaded mod, so after consulting with @Josh Davidson of Octal's Console Shop I worked with him to get some nice heatsinks, screws, and X-Clamps to restore this console. While I was in there I also took the opportunity to properly clean up the system and redo the RGH 1 work the previous installer did almost 10 years ago.
This video was possible thanks to Octal's help as well as him being awesome enough to sell me the parts I installed to restore this console. You can find his shop here, which I highly recommend.
This video is not meant to be used to follow along or used as a tutorial, this was all just a fun process I recorded and thought some of you might enjoy watching. If you're looking for something more informational, here's a catch-all video I recommend to newcomers.

This issue is quite common for external hard drives hooked up to the Wii U which have a USB 3.0 interface and hookup. This stems from a problem with the Wii U's individual USB ports not providing enough power to a USB 3.0 external drive. Flash drives, USB 2.0 drives, and externally powered USB 3.0 drives seem to work, but not portable USB 3.0 drives. How do we fix this? WE NEED MORE POWER!!!!! It will run you back a few dollars, but this fix is quite cheap and will let you easily fully power your drive from your Wii U alone!
Be warned though - This isn't some magical fix which will revive any clicking drive. By watching this video, I assume that you have a perfectly working hard drive which is running fine on your computer but clicks when connecting it to a Wii U console. If that is the issue you're having, this guide will do the job!

Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition on the Wii U - only $40 after tax in "Like New" condition from an Amazon Warehouse deal! Pretty great, right? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THIS IN ANY SHAPE REPRESENTS AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF SOMETHING THAT IS "Like New"
Most of the internal contents of the box were okay, but still decently damaged. The shipping box itself was fine, this thing looks like it was mauled before it was inspected and packaged up by an employee. If anyone says that the condition should match the internal products and not the packaging, that's completely untrue, especially with something that's a Special Edition release of a game. If you buy a car with a destroyed exterior but the interior is in mint condition, the car will not be classified as mint condition! GAH, I'M JUST RANTING NOW.
For real, though - I'm utterly mindblown over the fact that this was inspected and passed as "Like New" on their website.

The XRGB-mini FRAMEMEISTER by Micomsoft has been known by many in the retro gaming community to be the Cadillac of upscalers. Not only it supports an extremely wide variety of video inputs and can output up to 1080p60. It sports many additional features such as scanlines, upgradeable firmware, full visual setting selection, and many more which allegedly make it the best consumer grade upscaler out there.
After finally biting the bullet and purchasing one... Is it worth the money?

Hey look, the PS4 came out, but this one is all Pro and stuff. What's a 4K? I think we're straying away from the important things this system has to offer, like a third USB port and the fact that it looks like a burnt grilled cheese sandwich! Oh, and it has a new controller which is kind of cool.
