Man, if your GF dislikes your cabinet, you should really get rid of her. The GF, of course
. Anyway, you won't regret getting the HAS, I got mine not too long ago and its awesomeness is so high 
.Ha!!! Unfortunately we can only afford a 2 bedroom place together so I gotta be nice and allow her to have her work space too.
I am super pumped to get the HAS, I have a 20" Sony trinitron flat tube crt that's practically brand new that should be perfect for this. After I put a Dell trinitron CRT in my upright I hate playing on led/LCD monitors.

On the topic of cables, retro_console_accessories can also make custom cables to adapt the HAS's output to other standards. I had a male mini DIN-8 to female standard DIN-8 made so I can use my existing (quite expensive) Scart RGB cable. She can also adapt to female mini DIN-9 if desired. They're $16 for a standard cable or $25 for coax. Both options are fully shielded/grounded.
GREAT! I eBay messaged a person about a cable and haven't heard anything so this is really helpful.

I wanted to echo this statement because low quality cables with no ground shielding present are nothing but noise/trouble.
My first SNES cable suffered from this, I had a ground wire inside the cable but zero shielding around the outside.
The results were pretty bad, some light static/crackle sounds on the audio channels and visual pulsing/lines on solid colors.
Adding a ferrite (see image below) helped reduce the noise some, but swapping out for a fully shielded cable solved it entirely.

How can we integrate a Pico psu with an on off switch to the HAS?

also I would like to know how I can make the undamned USB work with the HAS?
If you have the plug-in version, you can just plug it directly into the HAS's controller ports:

You can do this by just connecting +12V, +5V, and -5V from the picoPSU to the HAS harness. If you go that route, opt for the highest wattage Pico you can afford since many PCBs need a lot of juice (CPS2 multi-kit setup for example). The Picos do not have adjustable voltage though, which would rule them out for me personally.
Component is not the same as RGB, even if the cable colors are the same. RGB uses 4 cables (RGB and Sync) but component uses only 3. You can, however, take the HAS RGB signal, pass it through a video encoder (neobitz and JROK come to mind) and convert it to component. Then you can connect it to your TV and get a nice image.

Jassin answered your question a page back. Use this, or the neobitz/JROK that aha mentioned.
and this would be the right cable to hook it up right http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-NE...-lead-for-NES-RGB-upgrade-board-/161728009749
Got the same set-upMy current setup:
Usually have a couple of Hori Fighting Commander 4 pads plugged in. Also have RGB's Saturn adapter.
just awesome
