Mark your items as sold
ooooo super interested, but I thought the DVD drives were very specific and tied to the motherboard? I could be super wrong or have old information, but how would I go about getting a compatible dvd drive and hdd for this?

cause I would be up for 4 of these.. =)
 
"UK only" it seems.

Most ide DVD will work. Some will work with some game and not with others (tekken4 being picky). it's weird and annoying.
The guru has a page on tested drives
tekken 4 wont work AT ALL with a system 256. nor will a select few other games. those need to be played on system 246. the 246+ dip will not do it.
 
I'm offering international shipping for this item, but please note that I am not responsible for any extra customs fees that may apply. I'll provide all necessary information to help you get it up and running smoothly. Feel free to install your own DVD or HDD if you choose to. While Tekken 4 isn’t compatible with this system, you’ll have no issues running Soul Calibur II & III, as well as Tekken 5, 5.1, and Dark Resurrection. If you're interested or have any questions, please DM me. Thank you!

It's not just a shell; it's a shell with a motherboard in like-new condition—just without the DVD/HDD and game dongle. These systems cost thousands of dollars back in the day. A unit in this condition today is extremely rare. Sure, you might find that system cheaper with a game, but not in this condition, and you’ll never know how long it will last if it's used and rusty like most of the ones that show up.
I know these aren’t as popular as CPSII or III boards, but the time will come when they will be, thanks to games like Soul Calibur II/III or Tekken 5. Having one in mint condition will be a great investment—an even better one if you build a dedicated cabinet for it.
