How about this ipod classic....
Hey all, love the thread.
I've actually read many posts on here and finally thought
I'd add a post of my own.
Hey iChernov, I saw some of the pics you posted and I
wanted to say "nice Product Red collection you have there."
I've actually collected many sealed ipods over the years.
I got my hands on 2 1st gen original 5gb classics,
you know, the holy grail of them all. Both are brand new
and sealed in box. The last one I bought I caught it for
$2,272 on ebay. I don't know what it's worth now, but
I'm more than sure it's worth more than I paid. It really
doesn't matter either way cause it'll probably be a long
time before I ever thought about parting with them anyways.
After seeing you guys post some pics of your ipod collection
I think I'm gonna have to get up off my butt and get mine
together so I can take a couple pics of my own.
The only main ipod I'm looking to get my hands on is a
5th gen 30/80gb classic/video U2 Special Edition model,
sealed in box. Now very rare and it seems like current
collectors are the only ones who have them. There are
a couple for sale on ebay, probably from collectors
themselves, figuring if someone will pay the price they're
asking for it, they'd part with it. But at an asking price
of $7,500 I'm sure they'll be holding onto it for some time.
But anyhoo, here's what I got going on now...
This ipod was originally a 7th gen 160gb thin back classic.
It's now a 7G Ipod Classic 256GB mod. (I could have
went the 512GB or 1TB route, but opted for the 256gb
for the time being with this one.)
I did this mod with a gold faceplate, red clickwheel,
gold center button, thick gold U2 back plate, a 7.5G
motherboard (7th gen thin 160gb board), a Tarkan
SSD iFlash adapter, Samsung PM851 256GB SSD,
and lastly a 1900mah battery, (which is why I went
with the thick back plate with this one. With this
battery it's a tight fit, but pretty much a perfect
fit at that.)
Feel free to let me know what you guys think of it.
Also, I'd love to see more of you post pics of your
collection if you'd like. In the meantime, I'll dig all
of mine out and get some pics to post soon......
