didn't start yet, but it might be done in about one or two weeks.
will definitely be a bit harder than modding a mvs board, since there ain't much space under the red abs shell.

I've bumped this thread with more info on consolizing the AW:

As much as I am not a big fan of consolized boards (I have always preferred superguns), there have been some reasons for doing an exception with this one.
First of all, goose offered to consolize for free (that is you only pay the costs) the first AW that was sent to him. Since we both live in Europe shipping is not that bad, so the total cost for me has been of only 55€. Take care that I don't need a JROK since my TV has RGB input, plus the AW offers the VGA output. I can even use a scart cable made from goose I already happen to own.
Sound. The AW has a stereo output connector that is so small I am not able to use it. Also, my LCD computer monitor has built-in speakers I would like to use, and through this it will be the perfect way.
Since I plan on using the AW in my PC monitor, while I use the other boards in my TV, I prefer to have my AW independent of my supergun. Right now it is not a problem because my TV and PC are in the same table, but this may change in the future.
If I use the AW in my TV through the RGB output of my supergun, the image is not 100% clear. The MVS looks perfect, but the AW and some of my other boards have this problem. I think it is caused by the fact that my supergun also has s-video and composite output, so the RGB goes some through filters. There are 2 pots to adjust this, but I can't get a perfect picture with the AW anyway. However, through direct RGB it should look perfect. I know I plan on using the AW more in the PC monitor, but in some cases I might prefer my TV as it is bigger.
The only problem I have right now is the PSU. I have a PC AT one I could use, but it is kinda uncomfortable. Goose says a sc200 works well, so my best bet would be to get one, can somebody help me please?
Since this will possibly be the first consolized AW in the world, I want to show it to try to convince people that it is very easy to use it at home (like I already did with it working in my supergun), so more people gets interested in having it. We need a strong second-hand loose games market
