Since some of you don't go to Ben's site anymore I thought I would copy/paste my new Portable for you

Highlights :
Case - Frankenmoded Datamax Kid's Delight
Screen - Unmodded Zenith Psone
Batteries - 14.8v 4700mAh Li-Polys
Controllers - Gamecube, Mini Gamecube, Wii Classic 3rd Party, Dreamcast Quantam Fighterpad

Notes :
1. Memory card relocated to top.
2. Disc Drive relocated with ffc extensions.
3. 2-way switch for running off batteries or wall.
4. About 90 hours of work more or less.

Well here it is :

Added a disc cover that I'm not 100% sure I am happy with. I may change it or even paint it.

I feel bad for cross posting my comments from BH, but I can't think of anything else to say! :sweat:

Man, oh man.

I could go on for quite a while about this portable. Fantastic, spectacular, all-around an amazing job!

I've built two Gamecube portables, so I can really appreciate the work that you put into this unit! The case came out great, and I definitely like the abxy buttons, that's pretty stylish.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you heavily modified the L and R triggers, those things are a bear to work with! Also, the way the switch works, loving that. Been doing that same design for a while now, I'm surprised that I don't see more people doing it, kudos to you! :mrgreen:

Once again, spectacular job, may it serve your needs for many years to come, or your customer's! :wink:

Can we see a picture of the thickness?

I'll get one soon. But basically the case is 1 5/8" thick where your hands hold it. It is 2" at the deepest spot where the screen bumps up. And then the Disc Drive hangs down in the middle another 1 1/8"

Awesome! It looks so... clean. I've always thought a white portable would be harder to make because imperfections are more noticeable. It looks very comfortable to hold.
