So you know, I got that same fan for $4 and paid no shipping by getting it at Radioshack. Its a good fan, too. Quiet, and lots of flow. I could barely hear it when I did my main test to see if it would drown out any sounds. It did not.

The list looks nice. I thought I did pretty well with mine, but I guess not as I ran out of money to continue the project.

Or for a screen a nice screen at 8 inches that accepts RGB and looks quite nice
And the list should go well, except for that fan

You do realize just how big those batteries are right?

The list looks sufficient. Like valium said though, you realize the size of those batteries right? The second choice is HUGE. Im not sure if the screens your getting are widescreen, but if they are, the N64 image will be stretched and look weird on it.

Are you asking if I know large their dimensions are. or how high their amperage is? I understand both.

I should be able to fit them in, and I realize they will last forever. I don't think 2-3 Hours means "portable". I want 5 hours, minimum.

Screens: The PSOne screen is obviously fine, I don't know the dimensions on the Wii screen. I'll check.

They're almost the same size as the N64 mobo, each.

Anyone know the resolution of the Wii Intec screen? I couldn't find it.

you will also need a voltage regulator for the 3.3V line

Well i know this is kinda obvious but you might wanna add another $30 because you forgot to add the N64 its self

I have one already, and 2 more in the mail., $40 for both with cords and controllers.

How many controllers? Are they third party? If so I'd really like to buy one from you.

There are 5 kinds, but they're actually all the same.
See how there's an "Add Free Sample to Cart" button?
Click it.
You need to sign up with a business-y email, pretend you're a company.
The email I used was Sparks.Electronics[at]gmail.com, and it worked fine.

Then all you need is a 100ÂµF eletrolytic capacitor and a 2kΩ resistor, wire up as per Harshboy's instructions.
