forgot to say

its 12 volts output thus you can put anything thats 12 volts out from it

[mako321]

yep, the gamecube input to the regulator board is 12v dc.

I'm not sure if there would be any significant savings, though, because the gamecube is still drawing the same amount of power.

i dont think there would be any savings cept for the fact u dont need to buy a new psu which is actually kind of useful

[hailrazer]

The power savings was the fact you are using a Gamecube with a 12v portable Dvd Player instead of a high power drawing CRT guys .

This is what i was thinking
and also your only using 1x 12 Volts not the 2x you would be using without second powerpack to use said portatble dvd player

im sure they both would still draw 12vs each its not like splicing the wires would eliminate the power requirements of each device right?

This is just me being a noob XD
i thought if it was coming from 1 outlet it would only be using the same 12v on the mains outlet/electricity meter/bill XD
as where to 2 diffrent powerpacks would come up as 24v thus costing more in electricity

hey it still useful in stead of buying a psu

[techknott]

When u buy ur electricity, you don't pay for the voltage, u pay for how much you use, ie wattage or ampage.

[linx_dbz]

..
does this mean i can use ANY form of powersource heigher than 12v and the gamecube powepack will move it down to 12v? :O

No.

Wattage, not amperage, in kWh (kilowatt-hours). Usually 10 cents or so per kWh.

Voltage X Current hours = Watt-Hours
12V X 60Ah = 720 Wh (or .72 kWh)
(12v@1Amp for 1hr)

On a side note Would this Small heatsink work in a Gc portable?
if so ive found a way to make the portables even thinner :O
as it stands at 1cm high
