N64Handheld Design

Here's a pic of my concept drawings:

I didn't get my ps1 screen until today... so my dimensions may be off a bit. And the sides where you hold it may have to be thicker to accomodate the joystick/thumbstick of the n64 controller( It's so big... ).

The specs should be something like this:
Vacuum-Molded/(maybe Fiberglass) Case
PSone Screen
RGB mod (Which mod works consistently?)
Upgraded Speakers w/Bass ( If the PSone screen's are 'tinny'? .. haven't tried them out yet... )
Relocated Cartridge slot
Relocated Ports
Ability to still use the n64 power supply, A/V out, and controller ports.
( So that you can still play multiplayer for hours on the big screen... )

I've decided against the Overclocking mod... The majority of posts( on other boards) that I've read indicate no real noticeable difference. How about your results?

Thoughts, suggestions, inquiries?

lol
I'm not that dumb.
I've never done any Vacuum-molding before.
But I've done a whole lot of fiberglass work.

I was saying that it would either be vacuum-molded plastic ... or a fiberglass case.

Now that's a unique design, and here I thought mine was the most unique n64p case design

I just suggest getting real good at molding clay, that and a steady hand for dremeling out holes.

Dremeling out holes? Whats wrong with using a Drill press or hand drill to do that?

As for the design it looks great, its a nice refreashing look.

or a regular drill press *Hello*

I mean for the screen and other non round holes.
