I'm looking into getting a 6-slot and was wondering if anyone here can recommend a great, inexpensive place to get one, also with low shipping to the US. I don't care if the cover has vents nor if it is a Japanese MVS either.
Thanks

I'd try MD Gamesales. Or someone on these boards.

Might I recommend going with a 4 slot instead? From what I understand the 6 slot takes a little more caring for than the rest of the boards. Only know what I've read on these boards about it though.

I've heard the same things concerning 4-slots being more reliable. But I was thinking the less I have to swap carts, the less I actually handle the mobo. I guess if I get replies strongly urging me to get a 4 versus 6....

I also found a store in Hong Kong that has a 4 and 6-slot for about $160 each, but S&H bring it up to about $240...

I would also suggest a 4 or even a 2 slot.

MDGameSales usually has 4 slots for around $180 or so. Might want to check with them to see what they can do for you. They typically price 2 slots for around $200.

Cosmicco in Hong Kong sells both 2 and 4 slots for the same price. They are both priced at $145 (the last time I check). With shipping by EMS ($55), the total is $200. And they are English boards by the way. I suggest you contact them.
