Gamecube briefcase.

[zharrhen]

I discontinued my retro Nintendo project and I have a leftover GameCube, which I'm making into a GameCube briefcase.

Specs

Battery powered
Original disk drive
1 controller holder


Things I have yet to decide

Screen
Briefcase size and materiel

This is still in the planning phase so if you have any ideas, I'd like to hear them.

 

[Prog]

Pelican case
Laptop screen/VGA Monitor hooked up via RGB
Also, if you use a Wii DD, you can make it slot load. However, that still needs some tweaking.

Thanks, prog. I'll try to get a pelican case and a laptop replacement screen. I won't use a Wii DD because after looking it up, It seems to not work very well.

It works perfectly, stop being retarded.

I think that if someone added a microcontroller to turn it off automatically when it needed (after eject, upon boot if empty) it would be absolutely perfect.

Prog, is there anything like a pelican case, except thicker (and hopefully cheaper)

OK, I've been waiting for my battery, so I've been doing some work on the GameCube and I need some advice on slimming it down, without Wiikey or wide. Its a rev C.

I've done some things and now this can be called a briefcase like thing. Things haven't gone according to plan, so the specs have been altered.

New specs

Battery powered
Original disk drive
7 inch screen
Size when closed (approx) 7.5 inches tall 9 inches long, 7 inches wide.

I will get pictures eventually, but my camera is broken, so here is a description, At the moment it is transparent, but I will paint it purple. It has holes on the sides for ventilation, 2 holes on the back for the universal battery hermaophroditus is making for me, and one big hole for the controller ports and memory card slots.
