Re: Tchays second Gamecube Portable worklog

I will be resuming progress on this portable next week.

This project is now an open commission to anyone that wishes reserve it. Buyer will get to alter the details of the unit. PM if you are interested.
 
Re: Tchays second Gamecube Portable worklog

Progress has begun!

Here are some pictures of placement and concept designs. Concept can take months to finalize...hopefully this is the final layout.


Top view. You can see the 5" LCD module on left and the controller board on the right side. Also present are 3 Sunon fans (.75"x.75"x.3125"). 2 speakers not exceeding width of case half. DD laser for placement. Lower right area is for the R-trigger. TRIVIA: what is written on my notebook? And what class is it for???

Most of the DD will be external from main unit. The laser won't extrude in this much.

Motherboard, Daughterboard, and controller board. All slimmed to their approximate size for the actual portable.

I really don't want to use 4 fans....just seems like a bit much. The plan is to have one fan suck in air, and the other two blow out the hot air. I'm curious if the wind generated by the DD spinning will help at all. It did in the Ccube...

Normally I like to hide this stuff, but I figure its useful to other portablizers. And hopefully entertaining to some degree :cool:

OH, forgot to mention my battery placement...oh well I'll just show that in another update.
 
Re: Tchays second Gamecube Portable worklog

This looks AWESOME! I love this! :D
Where is the screen from? Is this one that supports 50/60hz? I want to use one of these for my next portable.
The slimmed boards are just crazy. Realy impressive.

Hold on to this good work!
 
Re: Tchays second Gamecube Portable worklog

You need to share more info about getting the size of the disk drive down.

Re: Tchays second Gamecube Portable worklog

Notebook- Uh, "Standard Deviation" and it's for Statistics of some sort? Wild guess? Yeah, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Also, awesome. That looks really slim and tiny.

Correct! Its for Elementary Statistics. The class is a joke, yet strangly, I could only take it because I scored high enough on my placement tests to skip the freshmen level math course.

Of course, I only took it because it was the last available online math class :P
 
Re: Tchays second Gamecube Portable worklog

Yes! I was right, and I was pretty much just wild guessing.

On a more serious note, where did you get those micro fans?
