This was a project I made, simply because I want to make a couple things and be able to hook up to things i currently have to my 360. My extension projects for this will be a PS1 controller, an arcade pad, and something top secret xD.

Lol, true I was confused . I = V/R , V = IR xD

Well like bacteria mentioned there is a less current pull with the lower voltage. Which makes sense being as, I=V*R. So dropping the voltage should drop the current, which will give me a little room to work with, I could prolly get 1.5 hours with the final project. But yes not much play time, I may ...

Although, you said bondo can crack, at what point will it? At the drying stage? Or just by handling?

According to Bacteria, the DC's 12v rail can use as little as 7.4v (I tested on an adjustable power supply and seems to work), so Im gonna try to go with ...

Thanks for the response guys. I would also like to know where you get that bumper filler stuff, hailrazer.

I used a pretty thick ABS sheet when I formed this. It's .187, so what is the best tool I could use by hand to cut through? Also, my front and back covers don't match up as well as I thought they would. Would I be to use a plastic putty to build on to the form of the case?

lol

It's an 8v regulator. And what about the batteries?

First question: My regulator is getting a bit hot, not enough to turn off the screen like in hailrazer's case, although, I do fear that, it may get even hotter once I place everything in the case. I added a heat sink, but it only helped a little bit. So, should this regulator have its own small fan ...

You should make your own case. Grab some HIS or ABS, make a cheap table (a flat wooden board with a 1 1/2 in hole in the center), with a 3hp vac. You'll feel better knowing you its your own style.

Your switch for powering the console? If that's what you're talking about, the switch would go between P+ and your PicoPSU.

Well, remember some basic electronic principles:

In a series circuit, loads (your batteries) share opposing polarities (positive to negative, positive to negative, positive to negative). Add the voltages together. Same Currents all around

In a parallel circuit, loads share like polarities on a ...

Check out bacteria's project http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32411. He did this exact thing I believe, as far as cutting the PCB check this forum http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showt ... hp?t=25888, lots of tips there. We can't do all the research for you

Hey, if you got those pic from this thread http://benheck.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30585&p=358818&hilit=relocation#p358818 , look at the pictures of the GDrom board, versus the mobo.
