    Want a PAL gamecube system. Don't need any games. Just the system and power cable.

    Anyone know if it will properly power on in the USA? display is not a problem since I only will use this with my RGB monitor (I have a SCART RGB to db9/1084 RGB adaptor). Also, will my Gameboy Player from my NTSC gamecube work in a PAL gamecube?

    I'm pretty sure the power is 220-240V only. You might be able to use a US PSU on it, though. Gameboy Player should be fine.

    Get someone to pick you one up from GameStation. They're £25 new. Shipping will be a bitch, though!

    Does the Gamecube do RGB natively? It'll certainly only come with a composite lead.

    are you looking for boxed or unboxed?

    PSU will only be in 220-240v but if you use a US GC PSU then it ill work fine.

    PAL Cubes do output RGB. You can use any RGB cable intended for a NTSC SNES (the PAL SNES cable differs a bit, but it might work too, depending on the TV/monitor).

    NTSC Cubes on the other hand do not output RGB from the analog AV port. The only way to get RGB from them is to buy either the D-Terminal cable or the Component Video Cable, both of which are quite expensive and attach to the digital output port, and then hack the lead a bit so the chip inside the huge connector casing on the lead (CMPV-DOL) outputs analog RGB instead of analog YPbPr. Newer Cubes don't have the digital output port though.

    Also, PAL Cubes don't output S-Video while NTSC Cubes do.
