Dude ...I hate putting people down, but you obviously have no electronics experience.
Portables are a real challenge, and are not for people trying to learn how to solder.
I have a solid background in electrical engineering, and I still struggled through my portable.
Do yourself a favor, learn how to crawl before you attempt to run. Otherwise, this project will simply end up in frustration and wasted money.

this.
it took me a month of practicing soldering on old boards to get alright it and im still only just good enough to do what i need.
but i was just wondering SQ, i read your log of the objective64, and saw you were 13. how do you have a background in electrical engineering? if you really do so early on thats awesome!

Spoleyo: To answer your question, I started working with electronics when I was really young. I learned how to solder when I was 7 or 8 and ever since, I've been fueling my interest in electronics.
When I was in diapers, my mom gave me an unplugged power bar and all the appliances in the house as toys.
I guess you could say I wasn't your average baby.

Sounds like a super hero's back story

This so much. I see people who join, thinking they can build a portable, and then their first question is, "How do I solder?"
It's the number one thing you need to know when building a portable. It isn't possible without knowing how. It took me weeks to get the basics of soldering down, and I'm relatively good at it, but I've been soldering for 5 years, so it takes patients, which a lot of people seem to lack.
Oh and Sony, I think I'm in love with this quote. Learn how to crawl before you attempt to run.

When I made the Elephant64, I had not done anything really electronics related other than sound mixing. I started out with practically no experience and no knowledge and now I can make portables (If I don't keep getting bored with them
) and know quite a bit. Sure sometimes it's probably best to start small and work your way up. But I say, be ambitious. You will learn lots LOTS more that way. Also, Sony, I'm curious as to what your "solid background in electrical engineering" is, because you still seem to be wrong a lot.
I still have to learn somehow, and I achieve that by being wrong.ShockSlayer

Yeah, but calling it a "solid background in electrical engineering" is a massive overstatement, though.
