Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.

as far as screens go, what are you looking for? i might have something you could use. :thumb:

7"-9" Screen that is (preferably) not widescreen, with a small board.

hmm. i might have 10 or 12 inch 4 one. its insanely thin, and the board must be damned small. I'll see what i can find out. :thumb:

:thumb:

Oh yeah, and I am on a very small budget. :crying:

how small? i'll see if can get it cheaply. (its my dads.)

Like anything more than $50 could take a while.
I only get $20 every other week.
Although I should start getting $50 every two weeks soon.

I'll see what i can do. there is a slim possibility that i can get it that low,(if i get it cheap, you do too ) and i would be willing to trade. :thumb:

Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.


I am going to get a 14" screen from SamJc.
I know its a little bit overkill, but Heck... Bigger the Better!!!

Anyway, It will get done, hopefully, by the end of the summer.
I am getting my dad to buy me some High-Quality Plastic Sheets and Aluminum... Guess what that means.

Yep, that right: CUSTOM CASING!!!
It will be cutome casing, and an awesome paintjob.

So you took the engraving plastic/ aluminum route. Sweet. I like the look of that.

Yeah, It has a Dreamcast kinda vibe to it as well.

(SPOILER ALERT)

I am currently looking for a Tray-Loading CD Drive.
This means, I am going to make it Tray loading rather than what I had originally planned.
May be a little harder, but totally worth it.

Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.

then go trash picking. or just buy a broken drive that doesn't read disks from your local computer repair shop.

We don't have computer repair shops around here :crying:
But I am looking for one on Ebay and other places.

Wait - are you putting the modem in the DreamTop?

Probably not.
I don't have one, and no use for one.

I lived with dial-up for the first part of my life,
I'd rather not relive that experience :crying: ...

Do servers for online DC games even operate anymore? It would be nice to play some online Quake on your laptop. If you haven't completely decided on the slot-loading drive, use the empty space for the disk drive. Or you can put pretty LEDs and make the surface see-through.

Well from what I have heard, there are some unofficial servers up.
But Yeah, I would love to play some quake or Phantasy Star Online.

Nah, I am set on making it Tray-Loading. I am thinking about using the space for the Keyboard like themadhacker said.

Re: AfroLH's DreamTop Worklog

A keyboard wouldn't be a bad idea. Would you use the official keyboard?
