The way it works is you pay me to order the kit (probably around 110$ shipped or so). Then once it arrives and your toaster arrives pay me 100$ and I install the kit for you. Tim pointed out that using the model 1 sega genesis port isn't a good idea since those scart cables come with 75 ohm resistors in the output which would dim the picture a little.

Of course they didn't mention that I felt bad and refunded a chunk of money for that.
that may be, but they needed to have someone else fix your work. Even then, the FC was still left to look like sloth:
It was working when it was here I even made a video of it working fully and put it on my youtube. I sent it to skips because he was closer and offered to help.
There's also all the commissions I built where the cases look fine. I'm not perfect and I make mistakes but that doesn't mean that every system I make looks that way.
The right thing to do would have been to replace the entire case out of pocket. With the prices you charge, there would have been plenty leftover. Call it lesson learned and take responsibility for your work. Mistakes that cost people time and money are ones that are never forgotten. You seem abdicate this responsibility by offering a paltry recompense for the damages you caused. This is why you keep making the mistakes you do without further improving on your modding techniques. Hot glue is not a substitute for sound mounting practices. You took the early criticisms of your early work too personally and alienated everyone that was willing you help. Everyone makes rookie mistakes when they start out. It's through research and critiques of others that help you get better. If you're still offering the same crap work after several of years of experience, you need to reevaluate the way you approach a project. Start with a ruler and masking tape. Those work wonders for making straight holes.

My holes are straight, and my work is getting better. There are quite a number of satisfied customers. I do try to improve at my own pace. Of course if you're going to judge me based on one job gone wrong I can see your point of view. Anyway I'd love to take polite suggestions by pm if you have any.
