Ok, I've (rather unsuccessfully) carried out some further research in order to find something a bit more concrete... 270ºF (chip temperature) sounded a little high to me but I think that's just the temperature Nintendo decided upon in order to shut down the cube before it sets on fire. :lol...

I'm going to go ahead and assume the shut off temperature is before any real damage is done - after all, thats why it shuts down... to prevent potential damage.

Have you considered a solid state drive? If only a small one for the OS?

Thanks for writing this information up! I saw a similar post from you recently but it's good to see you've taken the time to write it up and expand on things. It's much appreciated. Regarding batteries, why did you not mention lithium polymer batteries?

Looks very neat! I haven't done much research on regulators so expect to get a few messages from me bugging you! :p Looking forward to see how it looks when it's been trimmed down and has new capacitors.

As it'll be my first portable, I don't think I'll be the one to bite the bullet and test out a relatively unknown mod chip! I look forward to seeing development in the use of other mod chips though. From what I've read, it's just the NTSC version of Luigi's Mansion that doesn't play? Just load...

This probably gets asked a lot (I've actually seen a few topics regarding this during my research) but... how should I connect two vacuum formed case halves? I've seen teeth be used to lock case halves, I've seen screw posts, and I've seen screws going in sideways (through the outside of one...

103ºC does seem mighty generous for a shutoff temperature - particularly when you consider we're going to be holding the device in our hands. It's good to see virtually any heatsink/fan combo keeps the temperature below 60ºC. I don't see why not - this information is still current and I'm sure...

Good to hear WKF clones are working. I did see someone selling WKFs in the junkyard section. Seeing as the clones work I guess I'll ignore all others! Thanks for your help.

I've recently been trying to find a source for WiiKey Fusions in the UK. (I'm not asking for help on this, I daresay you don't permit such discussion) It would appear that the WiiKey Fusion is no longer in production and that a chip referred to as the "WiiKey 3" is being produced and shipped...

Agreed. Although I have spent the last few days reading through various stickies and other such threads (on multiple forums) and I still have a hundred and one questions to ask so I'm not sure how useful it will be in the end! I'd just like to thank Zack for his post above. Cheers.
