Well, I got like five extra PS3s, so I guess it's time to tear one apart and see what we can do with it.
Project goals:
Features:
10" screen (motherboard is huge.)
Internal wired controller (prevent bluetooth/recharging issues down the road)
Accessible USB ports for attachment of keyboard/mouse
Internal rechargeable battery
Issues to be resolved:
Ok, so the output on the power supply has an amp rating of something like 21 amps on the 12v line. Just the fan is 2 amps; the hard drive probably takes close to that itself. The Bluray drive will also take close to 2 amps as well. Obviously, battery selection will be an issue; will likely need to do something like a laptop battery.
Size/weight/noise. There isn't likely a whole lot to be done size-wise, but the heatsinks on this are freaking gigantic. I may be
able to use smaller heatsinks and fans to get around this somewhat.
Anyway, here's the donor board:
Sorry for the FB link, will update once my photobucket quits being a pain in the ass.
