Dkap, quick question. When making your cases, do you use a certain kind of saw to cut out parts to bondo in the psone screen and controls or do you use an xacto knife? Thanks man, keep up the good work.

Well like it says, im about 95% done

All I have left to do is alittle more wireing and putting it all together. So here are some new picture's of it being built.

1.) The shell with controls and airvent covers in place.

Holy crap, that's awesome!!
Can't wait to see the finished version, the case looks awesome

Very nice. Is it any problem to play Halo 2 on the screen? I mean it's really small so you can't exactly see enemies too easily. So is the Xboxp going to have external A/V and controller. I only ask as I didn't see any ports on the case.

Stop outdoing yourself!

now I have to change my boxers...

Good work...what type of paint did you use? because If it was covered in automotive bondo, you could have used acrylic Enamel (more expensive automotive paint but i is what the Air Force uses to paint Numbers on Jets thta pass the sound Barrier at 10,000 feet in the air)

Just two cents there...

K just admit it. Your the one working with ben. His portable was almost done yours is almost done. I'm 99.9 % sure it's you working with ben.

this is 100% dkap style. Ben said his would have "the ben look."

jeroen · Post by **jeroen** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 11:38 am

good point. I'm still keeping my eyes on this.

joevennix · Post by **joevennix** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 11:49 am

It would be awesome if you somehow fit in the wireless live adapter. I'm sure there's not enough space, but think of it, wireless Halo 2 on Live!
I guess I could live with portable Halo 2.

Oh...my god...that is TOO sexy

Krepticor · Post by **Krepticor** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 2:52 pm

Joevennix the beautiful thing is he probably could have a portable Live!

See I read on the Internet where someone had connected their XBOX to live with a 56k

How they did this was by networking it to their computer and running the internet through that!

Now the specifics are fuzzy but dkap could probably do it! (It would probably required a wifi card though, don't know if he wants to spend any more money...)
