A 27" 1440p should work perfectly for PS3 and Xbox 360. The vast majority of that generation has a internal rendering resolution of 720p (sometimes as low as 540p). Setting the consoles output resolution to 720p instead of 1080p makes it look much better on 1440p monitors just in general, without taking into account the monitors own scaling capabilities which 9 times out of 10, are pretty much non existent or just far worse than an actual TV. Also a good opportunity to take advantage of a Retrotink 5x so you can get decent upscaling on that 1440p display without having to sell your kidney for a retrotink 4k.
I installed casters on my mitsubishi tv stand, and it worked out great because the base board is recessed compared to the bottom of the frame, so it only raises the height of the stand by less than an inch, and aren't visible from the front.
The issue with not recapping internal PSUs is that leaky capacitors from those, can kill the console. Just ask my first 3DO, for instance. The original SNES PSU, at least the european ones I've seen, are AC power supplies with no internal capacitors, it's literally just a transformer in there, same for NES.
I've only found a single seller for OMVS kits that has them in stock, and it's an ebay seller in Europe. About the same price as the sellers mentioned in the question, before shipping. I'm considering going the supergun route instead. Finally have a MVS board on the way because of the upcoming new MVS flash cart from backbit.
Great questions this week! :) Thanks for keeping me company with my coffee this morning dude!
Thanks for the answers!

Excellent point!!!
10:10 - (cough) Kaico. Ive argued with people on social media about Kaico for their shady shit who unfortunately dont have a clue.
I just looked at Kaico products the last few days, namely, their PS2 HDMI gimmick. Looks pretty ass.
@Pruflas-Watts it's probably just a knock off rad 2x
Wow, I'm way late today.

I had the same caster issue and almost collapsed a modern metal frame coffee table with a CRT in it. Yikes.
Omg 🤓Did he say the Nintendo Switch is a 5-year-old console? It's almost 8 years old. Does this guy even know video games? /sarcasm 😜
