I say it only needs to look nice when being sold, otherwise who cares? Your playing the gamecube wherever you want!
And external batteries are nice for people who only build portables because theyr not allowed to play videogames and therefore only use them in their room, like me for example :gonk:

I'll change the title as soon as I get home...

Title changed... and more progress:

Here are my batteries:

They are both 3.7v 2500mah at .2" thick! (hence the space I saved for batteries in the case, so they'll fit)

So, wired in series, at 7.4v 2.5 ah, they should power my GC for about an hour! :dahroll:

However, an hour of gameplay isn't too bad. I'd definitely be enough to show the unit off and to have a quick play while going from place to place in the car. I'd definitely have an external battery for when I really wanted good play time.

Yay progress :dah:

I was worried after the 2 1/2 pages dedicated to people fighting over size :wtf:

Well, size is a major factor to this portable.

Okay... I think I miscalculated the battery life.

Normally, that would be a bad thing. But, I think that if the batteries are wired in series, it would give me 2500mAh + 2500mAh = 5000mAh or 5Ah. Thus, powering my GC for about 2 hours at Zenloc's predicted draw of 2.3-2.4 amps. Yay! Battery life! :awesome:
