XPC is starting a PS2p!?

Yes you heard it right. After killing my new PStwo while installing a modchip, I decided to make a PStwo portable, I had a dead motherboard to use for size and various other preperations so when I get some money together, it'll be as easy as slapping the new mobo into the case and soldering some wires. I am going to make a completely custom case for this one, using sheet plastic and bondo. I have some case ideas which I will post in a bit. stay tuned!

Ok change of plans already. I have decided to put my ps2p in a heavily modded Playstation shell, It will resimble a Playstation but it will have much more... PS2ishness. Anyway Ill be putting up a concept drawing shortly.

I would REALLY like to see this come more to light. Have you thought about what battery you'll use? Just fill me in on the basics cause we all want to know what your gonna be packin'!!

Well the Playstation case has plenty of room (though I will be hacking it down a bit to make it smaller) so I figured I could pack 7 D sized cells in there, so ill be packing 7 of these 1.2v 10000mah D cell Ni-Mh batteries. the eight pack is only $49.95 so I figure it's the cheapest way to get massive play time, I'm not really concerned about weight, because like dkap and his XBp I'll be leaning it in my lap as I play, not holding it up in the air. as for other details... PSone screen. That is all I am authorized to say as of now.
EDIT: oh yeah, It'll have a Myth chip in it too, I don't think I killed the chip, and when I install it in the next one, I know what not to do. That was my first chip install.

Well that's different. Smart kind of different. I personally want a handheld PSTwoM or P or whatever, since my PS2M is like a laptop. Could you put up a prototype up soon? Can't wait to see.

I remember when i waned to build a pstwop really bad!

But I then realized that My soldering skills would kill anything in contact!
