This is the ST-V that I put together a while ago with the hopes of one day getting Darksoft's STV Multi. That dream is about to be realized, so I thought that I'd post some pics. When I bought it, it booted with "slave CPU" error and didn't load games. I fixed it by reflowing the CPU, and followed that up by recapping it. The problem was caused due to the flex in the board breaking some of the CPU's leads, so I installed a ton of PCB feet on it. Eventually I want to mount it to a panel to keep it rigid.
I was on a blue LED kick at the time and installed two long strips underneath the main board, and on small strip under the top sub-board. I've since positioned that LED so it lights up the "Sega" logo, which is a cool effect. I also installed the MODBIOS and made a stereo audio cable for it. And I replaced the JST stereo terminal with a JST-XH type to prevent plugging my cable in backwards.
A few shots of it running on my old plasma:
