Re: Beginnings.
Little bit more casework is getting done. I need some help on placement of select and start, not really sure where they should go, opinions welcome.
Lots of pics, because I like lots of pics:
L2/R2 mounted in, lots of other stuff semi mounted or ready to be permanently affixed.
I'm cheating a bit and have raised up the d-pad/buttons/analogs slightly above the face of the case to buy some room inside.
Triggers may look a little akward, but they feel o-so-smooth.
Filler'ed in the rest of where the DVD will sit.

Re: Beginnings.
Finally got some batteries in the mail. Spent a good part of the day today working out the rest of the case layout around the batteries. Its a Dang tight fit, but it all goes in there. I actually had to trim some parts of the motherboard around the batteries to make them fit.
This ones really close, like 1/2 a mm more and I would have been cutting some important via's and stuff.

Re: Beginnings.
yes, awesome work on the batteries, ashen
how many volts are they? 11.1v?
and how long will they last per charge?
it looks like a tight fit, also case rocks
it's knida like SS's XGC case.
also, i never knew
that Start and Select could be sooooooooooooooooooo far apart from each other,
but it's awesome that they are

Re: Beginnings.
Looks amazing so far Ashen! I was going to ask about the batteries too. They look like individual cells. Does each cell have a built in protection circuit? And where do you usually get your batteries from?

They are 18650 cells, and I get them from batteryspace.com. I'm figuring at 11.1v and 5200mAh I'll get around 3.5-4 hours playtime. Thats just a rough guess at this point though.
More case updates, hopefully I'll be painting this biotch by the end of the week.
Pretty much everything important is cut/filed/dremeled/epoxied where it needs to be. I'll need to add some vent holes at some point. Feels real good with this setup, me likey.
Also, cut my heatsink. Gets no warmer than cool. PS2's apparently run a lot cooler than GC's
