I know I know, you're right. This is a rather temporary setup, I plan to arrange the consoles a bit differently so they're less in the sunlight.
Even now, its just during the evening, and my Gamecube, which is the most susceptible to yellowing, is already kinda yellow unfortunately. Same for the wavebird receiver.
But you're still right, I should put something over these consoles for now.
Here's how fried my brain is from retro collecting, I was about to genuinely say "nah, don't bother, these are cheap, just buy a second set of them and keep them in proper storage".
As if that was a reasonable thing. Don't get into retro hardware kids. Not even once.
