I've just completed my second hard drive upgrade to the Archos Jukebox which I heartily recommend as a jogging companion. They are just a little wider than the 2.5 inch notebook drives inside them [about 6x as thick], and easily portable enough for a jacket pocket or on a belt.
Go here for detailed instructions on upgrading the drive, Toshiba 40 gig drives go for $150 and work fantastic.
I have every one of my 500 CDs [all purchased legitimately, I don't believe in screwing the artists, especially in obscure genres] on there with plenty of room to grow. Remember that the Kbps you rip your MP3s at affect how many reads from the drive the player does and therefore how skip-prone the hard-drive based players are - I rip at 128 and rarely have problems with it skipping due to movement while the drive reads.
Nothing is like having so much music in such a little space. My Archos and Gameboy Advance make all my commutes and air travel 1000x more enjoyable.
Strange how he describes everything as if he pulled the research for this project right out of thin, thank-less air.
Chances are close to 100% that anyone who has put together a MAME machine has spent many hours going over the countless examples and helpful websites listed at the mecca website for cabinet fanatics:
http://www.arcadecontrols.com...personally I consider it quite rude to URL out where you bought X piece and Y joystick without leading readers back to the places you found your information in the first place. Selective hyperlinks might make you look like an intellectual superior and give outstanding bragging rights, but it does very little to actually get answers in the hands of fellow enthusiasts.
Lik-sang.com and other Asian retailers have been selling cold cathode lights for the GBA for several months now. I imported one awhile back and have been in love with it ever since. Zero glare, plugs into the external port, and radiates a perfect soft-on-the-eyes light... WITHOUT having to open up your handheld.
The best part? Only $8.99.
