Joeys MiniCube - Near Completion

well my first try at the gamecube didn't work out too well (back in 09 when I knew nothing). Tried making a few different portables after that, they all worked but I never actually finished them (case wise). I've had this cube sitting here for months and just recently decided to finally create the portable I always wanted back in 09'. So here we go round 2! Gonna have all the "standard stuff" (wiikey, trimmed, somewhat small, internal batteries). Already have the wires soldered and labeled for the Wiikey just gotta go order one, also have my audio amp wired up and when my sample comes in I will have the regulator all set up. So all I really need to do is find a case and buy a wiikey. A friend is giving me a screen that I will most likely use.
Here's a flax iPhone pic:

(I know, not very organized at the moment)

sorry for the bump, but I have an "update" I suppose. Currently talking to my teachers at school about using the Vac Former that they have, which means I will most likely be able to make a completely custom case for this portable

thats pretty sweet that you dont have to build your own table or anything..... i built my own but can't find any cheap plastic's to use on it

Yeah I'm pretty excited, only been using premade cases. Glad I can finally work with a Vac-former.
on another note, Should be ordering a Wiikey tomorrow. how long does Regular Air-Mail Shipping from FoundMy usually take?

actually had that bookmarked, had completely forgotten about that

Edit: ordered a new regulator from TI and the Wiikey. now just have to wait for those.

Ashen believes that they are going to phase them out soon I believe, he suggested we try out these http://www.ti.com/product/pth08t241w Just got mine today.

Update with pics, was able to use the vac former today! also the card used for the wiikey got declined (not sure why, it has ~$9000 on it) but I will try ordering it again tonight. well here's the case, will be roughly the same size as the gamegear and will have a 4.3" screen.
