I use both in my bedroom set-up.Its a Apex 24 inch monitor,and a dual stereo audio set up using both a :
Sony CMT-HP7 and Altec Lansing 100 watt stereo speaker set-up with floor firing subwoofer.I keep both systems in the closet in 2 different rubbermaid containers wrapped in bubblewrap,and varry the use on them by using one or the other here and there.I use the bank card to transfer the game saves.Basically I swap back and forth because I dont want to just play one of my decks untill the cd-drive dies and then only have just one left lets say 4 years down the road.I dont dare leave either deck out when Im not using it.Im very strict about dust and temp control on my electronics and my games.I guess I just picked up this habit over the past few years while collecting laserdisc.
I am actually wanting to get one or 2 more of the TurboGrafx CD-drives,or the white cd-drives as back ups.Not the full deck,just the drives.I know I will most likly have to buy full decks and piece out the rest of the deck parts on ebay.Right now both my cd decks are near mint,the briefcase cd-drive and the Super Cd-rom 2 drive,and Im trying very hard to keep it that way,as is my CoreGrafx.My white Pc-Engine I had to undo the stereo av-mod that was done to it,re-install/redo the rf out,as it was un-soldered,and bleach the plastic to restore it to very good condition cosmeticly.Its been over 3 years sence I have owned a US TurboGrafx cd system of any kind,as I have always felt the system was huge/black/and way ugly.On the The TG-16 cd system complete looks from above like a huge black letter T.Tell me they didnt do that for marketing reasons?My friend in Conway owns 2 Tg-16 cd systems complete,and a system 3.0 card.He envys me because he doesnt want to do a system mod,but wants to use the Arcade Card Pro,and have some of the hu-cards like Gradius and Salmander.He ha sbeen thinking of getting some kind of Supergrafx with cd-drive set-up.He doesnt believe in modding vintage systems,and the jap hu-card adapters cost as much as a good pc-engine.I agree with him on system mods,I dont care for them either on nice old systems like that.I always hate to see NeoGeo decks modded.Espically MVS 1 and 2 slots turned into home system like decks.
