You want to buy a AES system here at the forums? I believe many people are selling nice modded systems, just check the "Neo Selling" section and look for one that has S-Video, Stereo output and a Debug BIOS, don't pay attention to the title, read the description.
Silver---AES, 1 stick, no game
Gold---AES, 2 sticks, game
Mega/Super/Ultra---Modified AES
The modified AES is the most expensive and cost around $600 for a fully modified system. In an effort to make the system more appealing to buyers SNK offered the Gold and Silver packages, with the silver being the least expensive of the two. Hardware wise there is no difference between a AES that was sold as a Silver package VS a system sold as the GOLD package.

Nah, not really. You can easily ruin an AES board if you're slippery with the soldering gun. Buying a modded system for 600 bucks is a bit outlandish, but paying 110-120 for a nice mod job is definitely worth it IMO.
Oh, and just to add something to this thread:
Mega and Super usually imply S-video, stereo, composite video, and debug bios, while Ultra usually implies all of those features plus RGB output. Also, the ultra machines are done by !Arcade!, a pretty well-respected Neo Geo shop.

Dude, just buy a regular aes, and then have JMKurtz mod it for you. He's great, been doing the mods for a very long time. You can trust him. 600 for a modded system is fucking stupid, when you can have the jobs done for under 100.

for 600 bucks you could get a cab shipped to you, a nice one too.
I think my post was misunderstood. I was speaking of a pro fully modded boxed AES in excellent or better condition with everything needed to play along with a couple of sticks. A complete system like this would be between 550 to 600 at the NeoStore. Yes, you can get something for less...you pay for what you get in terms of condition, mod quality, and accessories included.
