Just the same as how I hold the record for the only person who lives in my room.

The aim isn't to make the most but to make the best, surely?? Image

Numbers are nice, but in the end, it's quality over quantity any day. Seriously. 12 Bud Lights or 6 Molson? No contest. Gimme the Molson.

You hold the record for most hot glue used in a life time.

I think as far as anyone knows, yes you hold the record. But, do they count if they were made from remnants of a previous portable? After all, I could swap the buttons out of mine, paint it different colors and rewire it all, but it is still the same portable. Just out of curiosity, how many have you made using new parts? (well, parts that weren't from a previous project)

Also, quality over quantity most definitely applies to making portables. I really think I speak for most of us when I say you should spend a lot of time making a really nice case, and make a portable that looks really nice, whether it be n64 or not. Surprise us all with something amazing.

Making a crap ton of ass-ugly portables doesn't count for much. It's obvious when you do and do not put your heart into something.

^^ Ya, that.

Why spend the time wiring something up if you're gonna just put it in something that looks like crap.

Well, enough negativity. I'm sure he knows by now that his cases are ugly. Lets at least stay a little on the positive side. :wink: Really though SS, you should make a nice case. You have plenty of experience with the materials by now (ahem, do not even touch the glue gun. lol) so you are very able to make a nice case. It just takes more time, more effort, a ruler, and less hot glue.

The secret to a nice case is some bondo and fine grit sandpaper! SS if you used more bondo and sandpaper you could do it easy. It might take longer but a nice case is worth it.

The 5th is the only one with a recycled n64 mobo.

I was just wondering. :P My case is fine.
