Resized sig from 600 x 177 to 600 x 150; looks better now.

I use a bit of a blur on the wording and also 75% transparency, to get the effect.

Just held my system again, gorgeous! All buttons including the shoulder buttons feel really good now, and case is shut well. Boy, this has taken a lot of ...

I don't have any room to make it thicker on the memory. It unfortunately worked out that way.

I was trying to attach the aluminum to the memory and then fold it around to the other side where it could accordion a bit.

ehh its not the right material. and its not aluminum its stainless steel ...

Care to recommend some that don't end in the words "Vista", "Mac", or "Linux"?

That's like asking for cars not made in North America, Europe, or Asia.

As for cases I want to see one made out of lego :lol: . You'd need to glue the pieces together to make it structural but if you custom ordered all the right pieces and made a colour scheme you stuck to it could actually look pretty good. Play around with L-cad if you don't believe me.
After the ...

The sensor bar doesn't sense anything. It's just a source of infrared light. All the sensing is done by the wiimote itself, so no, it wouldn't interfere with anything.

Perhaps someone could list the other sites this project was posted onto??

It was posted on Reddit.

17" screen (Which cant be a HD monitor because I've yet to find a way to make the N64 output to a DVI plug (You'd think somebody would have made an adapter). LCD TV's are more expensive than LCD monitors for some reason). $600 was a good price. I remember that price. It was for a 15". The original ...

Sometimes.

Come on guys, don't feed the troll.

Perhaps the c-stick could be used to move a cursor on the second screen, and the z-button could be used to "touch" the screen.

There's a basic amp you can use. The 386 IC runs on anything from 4-17 volts, and you only need six parts, all of which are available at Radio Shack:

LM386 IC
10k potentiometer
250 uf capacitor
0.05 uf capacitor
10 ohm resistor
8 ohm speaker

Agreed. You really will need to invest in some electrical solder. Plumbing solder doesn't conduct electricity very well, and electrical solder is designed to.

Damn, that's what I was afraid of. Is the soldering iron itself still ok? Or do I need a new one of those, too?
You're probably going to ...

Thanks for the replys

@Exploding.Monkey - Thanks for the link, it's helps a bit. The guide is pretty vague, though..

@Everyone Else - My dad has a soldering iron and solder last time I checked... Yeah, he does. I remember using it when we were doing the plumbing for our downstairs bathroom. I'll ...

How about MobileStation?

Thanks for your thoughts, guys. I think what I'll just do is buy another PSU, this one specifically:

And just have this powering the screen instead.
