SD2SP2 ACE will be released for order on Monday. Finally have the fit and finish where I want it. Added a snap clip, and a foot so it doesn't sag under the console, and the foot fits perfectly into a GameBoy Player if that is also installed.

Damn these Noctua NF-A4x10 5v are beautiful in Black with the Brown bumpers. Been a while since we could stock this color way. I need to get the tariff invoice from UPS before I list them I have an idea what that looks like but until I get the final pricing I can't list these for sale.
