X-arcade mod idea

Post by humanman42 »

I just bought an x-arcade tankstick.

However awesome it may be, I like to take things apart and make them more my own. I was thinking about getting a mini-itx mobo, a 120gb 2.5"hd and my collections of roms. Make it so it has A/V out, slide out keyboard, blammo, portable arcade.

is there something i dont see here?

I'm sure you could do it. I don't know how big those things are exactly but I think you can fit it all in there as long as there isn't a lot of electronics in there. Open it up and see how much space you have and go from there.
Meh, I don't post much.

I'm sure you can do it. Your basically making whats called a supergun case but using a computer instead of an arcade mobo.

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.
