@ pksjaveed I bought both quite while ago here in Japan. I got the Pico-ITX soon after it was available and I think it cost about 30,000YEN. Pico PSU was maybe 8,000YEN.

Well, with the new term approaching and a busy summer with no time to work on the mod, I found myself with a week in which to complete everything. That turned into only 3 full days. A whole lot of sawing and filing and gnashing of teeth saw PicoCube finished last Wednesday.

DVD drive had to be removed due to things getting a little hot inside such a small space. A shame but no big deal as it isn't really essential. I bought another dead Gamecube so I can swap out the lid and controller port area later if I want to. No pics of things in progress or under the hood as I was so intent on getting it done. Here are some final shots of the system sitting on my desk in the staff room. More details if you click the pics or go to blog post.
