Project: Chrome Dragon? *UPDATE* DONE!! NEW PIX!

ok good because i was like i am hopeing he doesnt need that second one

 

you asked earlier how to plug to psx adapter internally just soder the wires to the usb header

 

ok so i dont need anything fancy? i just gotta match the right colored wires with everything?

any ideas about this



o and i just tried the headphone thing again using the headphones i use at lan parties (its a 3.5mm jack so i use a converter) and with the converter in it just barely blocks the 2nd usb port, so ya i cant use it, but i NEVER used 2 front ports at the same time, and i only use the headphones at LANS and i never plug anything into the front usb anyways

 

for the holes try bondo

and for the usb just match the wires to the correct header

 

Ya i need to get some bondo though, does walmart have it? how much is it at home depot and stuff?

 

walmart might im not sure but HD probaly will and im not sure on price

 

walmart carries bondo, and if you go to ratshack they used to carry a adapter to go from 3/8th to 1/4 with about 2" of wire so you can get that and still use your second usb

 

cool ill check walmart next time i go

i may do a lil sliding door thing,made out of a cd jewel case

dang i still need a window design

 

any ideas how i can cover up some of the ps1 controller port hole?

 

Looking good so far, will keep an eye on this to see how things progress for you.

Go to ask though, just out of curiousity, did you happen to get this case from Tiger Direct? I just picked up two of these same cases (in black mind you) from Tiger, and managed to get them for $40.00CDN apiece.

 

ya i got it when it was on sale (and when they had the case) for 30 bucks

 

for the hole, if bond-o isnt good for you, then try filing it!!!

Also if you file around the usb ports,it will look much cleaner

Other than that, what colors are you going for?

Another thought, get a peice of heatshrink tubing to cover the end of the green wire sleeving on the usb extension ports, it will look cleaner, unless you have something else in mind

Good job

 

filing will make the hole bigger

 

*UPDATE*

Ok well i made my ghetto psx adapter cover thing, held on by a cable tie, and made of a mouse pad and some carpet LOL








I painted it silver, but i havent got any pics of it yet

anyways, made a hole for the heatsink, so ill put a fan on the other side panel




And i cut my front bezel up WOOT!


i went all over it was fun, but it took me about 4 hours to cut it all out


FINALLY!


If your wondering why i left those things, youll see


hmmmmmmmmmm why did i cut out the bezel crap again? o ya!!




thats my pimping walmart grill mesh crap WOOT! and if you havent noticed, i left those things to mount the lcd.

Tomorow im gonna paint the grill blue woohoO! i MAY also do my window, if i can think of something to do that is

thatz all for now

 

looks real funkeh with lcd installed good stuff

 

that cover is really..."ghetto"

 

ya it was the only/easiest thing i could think of

 

*Small Update*

Painted the mesh


and made a new cover, using velcro




thats all

 

hmm imo that cover for the hole you made looks kind of dorky imo. i would bondo it and then remount the port somewhere else. but this is just my opinion

 

well theres no other place to mount, i would bondo it but i dont have any, if i find some ill buy some
