Possably a GCP

The parts are actually really cheap (one of the many beauties of vac-forming). All you need is some plywood, a wet-dry-vac, and wooden dowels... Most of the stuff for mine was lying around my dad's shop virtually unused... The only thing I'm uncertain of is the price of styrene, marshall would know... He bought a huge sheet of the stuff

! I think from that we can assume that it's very inexspensive...

Well If you really cannot do that, just get some plastic. I cut up old NES' for their plastic, as you can see with my atari. However, the NES case probably wont give you those dimentions, So you might have to find some other plastic to cut and make into a little box.

Yea...i should just rip apart a....I know! I'll use DVD-cases! I have tons of em....i can just super glue them to the insides and outsides of my GCP.....then we have no worries of the thing setting up in flames (never added a new fan, my original fan broke when i opened the gamecube).......and are those wet-dry vac things those vacumes that are huge and round, that are ment to pick up ligiuds and stuff and for basements!? I suppose i could ask my parents if i could "borrow" it, but they don't even know about my GCp yet

I build it while they sleep or when they arn't around me, or even home

Crazy, huh? I'm afraid my parents won't let me make a gcp because they hate it when i mess with electricity.....aside of being a pyro-maniac, i'm also an electricity manisc......i mean, who actually builds a pc into a box (long story)........anyway, i'll see if i can find the nessasary parts....wut if i just put a bunch of bondo around my carboard and duct-tape? Would that work!? Also, where can i buy bondo......whenever i search i can never find anything.....

Well the construction of a vac-form machine is pretty simple, about an hour's work of hammering and drilling... That's if you take a few shrimp-toast breaks... I love shrimp toasts

... Anyway, if you're parents don't know, sneak the materials to a friends house... Other moms aren't as suspicious as your parents...

Oh, BTW, I'm a pyromaniac myself... I once hooked up an N64 to a wall out let... DIRECTLY

I don't even know how to use one......or how to shape....or what to use!

@ Gamelver: He was talking to me (I think)...and does anyone know where:
A: I can buy something like that in the picture below.
-OR-
B: Make something like that in the picture below.

The pic:

EDIT: Something is wrong with my power supply...it only works when it feels like it, and if anything touches it, the game cube turns off.......is my cube fried or is it just my supply!?

Fixed

Anyway, I need to find the best battery that can power the gamecube. I've recently started a new secret portable with my friend and we are using my battery.....so now more than ever, i need a new battery. I'm gonna trash the separet Screen battery...it will be placed in my closet of doom. I have 100 bucks to spend for a battery. If someone can find me a great 12 Volt battery for under 100 bucks, that'd be great!!
