@nruva: Yeah.
Odd that you have it on as just a thing in the background though, I think it's pretty cool, but electricity is just too expensive for that over here. Plus I'd just sell it at that point probably. I have two egret 2s and I honestly can't remember the last time I turned them on, however if I sold them I'd miss them instantly. I'd love to sell them both and blow the money on something stupid for the hifi but the main reason I haven't is the room would be too empty without them, and a friend still owns one so every time I went over I'd be .. wtf have I done. About a year ago I sold all my my neo stuff, literally the first time since joining this site I didn't own anything neogeo related either homecart or mvs, I didn't miss it that much really and the money came in handy. Now I only own a one slot and a multicart and I put that in about 5weeks ago after rotating a cab, turned it on and flicked through the list of games and just went meh, and turned it off.
Maybe I'll play some tomorrow. Remind myself why I like it.
I pretty much feel the same way. I'd miss the cab if I sold it, even though I don't use it as much as I should. Still, I sometimes think I should just sell the thing and get it out of the living room. Especially the week before or the day of a move The power isn't too horrible. I calculated it a few years back and it came down to about $5-10 a month. It was negligible enough that I basically don't worry about it.
