do u need to keep the heat sink if u add a fan in your portable? (probaly a stupid question )

i found this portable dvd play it has two screens and then a dvd player u connect the screens via av cables can i use these due to here in aus its hard to find the ps one screen and if i do its on the net over seas

and could i keep them av cables as well as adding the game cube to attach for say the dvd player ?

and these screens i want have a antener for tv plus extra antener plug could i keep that ? if so would i be able to buy one of those small set top boxes no u can get them palm size that would be a great add on of coures that would run off its own battery's and not be fixed to the case

casing okay im lost all together on this one i realy need help how to make it what to make it with weather buying a data max lazer dodle and doing it that way would be the easiest for me (i think im going down this track anyway) it just probaly wont be a lazer doodle or data max due to carnt get them here but there are plenty of other great kids toys for cases ohh and how and what do i use to fill holes add plastic so on like a bondo or plastic cement or just glue

This is the Reference section of the forums. It is only for posting infomation, not asking questions. Your question would be better asked in the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube board. Don't start a new topic, though. Wait for a Moderator to move it.

In regards to your questions, you will always need a heatsink and a fan for a Gamecube portable. You could try it with just a passive heatsink and no fan, but it would be massive, and defeat the whole purpose of making it "portable".

I'm not exactly sure what your asking about the screen. As long as it has AV in, then it will work. If your screen already has an antenna for receiving TV, then that should work. It'll add size to your portable though. If you're trying to add it to the screen, it may be difficult. And it is possible to get AV out of your portable to hook it up to a TV.

There is no way you'll be able to fit a Gamecube in a LazerDoodle. The ZN-45 case at Polycase.com (http://www.polycase.com/item/zn-45.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) can fit a Gamecube, and have already been used successfully in portables.

For case bonding, ABS cement, bondo, and JB Weld are mainly what you would use. Hot glue can be used on the inside, but it makes for a terrible outside, since it is a different texture than the plastics.

Also, read through the stickies on the different boards. They contain a lot of info about portables. A Gamecube as a first portable is a daunting task. Read through the forums, and maybe you'll find something easier to start with.

Hope that answered some questions. Good luck!

if you want a portable just make it a portable if you add on more things it just becomes bigger and bigger
oh and prctice desoldering/soldering on broken or unwanted electronics you will need to be good at it have not made a portable yet but from reading on this site i learned some about it

Complete and total BS.

A Gamecube would fit in a LaserDoodle a LOT easier than a Zn-45.
