It's good, i used imageshack. the pics are on my post in page 1, i think i would need something on back too, sinceit just sits out in the open, not worried about breaking it as much(sorta am though) just the ps2 getting scuffed up and ugly. Make it its own plexiglass case?

Imageshack sucks.

Pages are WAY heavier than they need to be, makes loads take forever for us narrowband users.

Nah, don't bother.

Also:

Damn, you could throw enough batteries in to last forever.

Of course, you'd want to put the PS in the middle, and the batteries on the ends to keep the weight centered.

thats a lot of posts

Yeah i was actually thinkin about that since i want it to last as long as possible on batteries weight may be a little on the heavier side, but if i can get 4 hours on it, i'd be happy.

You have SO much space, you could get a lot more than that.
It won't be cheap or light though.

You could basically get as much life as you wanted, depending on how much you can spend.

Go to batteryspace.com and look at your options.

What kinda voltage would i need for it, to support the monitor to? Or go with one straight to the monitor on the left side, one too the ps2 on the right?

I cant go too much, but if worst comes to worst i can make some money and buy better. I have a candy selling thing goin on in school usually. If i need money, i spend 10$ to make 30$ lately i havnt been sellin though. Once i know how much i need i will sell and buy it all at once.

What is your budget, exactly?

rayne · Post by **rayne** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:42 pm

Well, when i buy everything and make it, i plan on a new slim(so now issues arrise from it being old and beat up) so $100 for that, guessing about 100$ for the monitor, so another 100-150 for battery, and some more for the case stuff. Im not too sure how much the case is gonna get to be.

For what you're doing, you're going to want a perspex case.
That'll run you less than $20.

If you're honestly willing to spend that much on a battery, you're going to get a TON of battery life.

Four of these, this, and a charger, and you'll get like... 15 hours of battery life, give or take. XD
I don't know what kind of draw a 12V LCD takes.

Oh, and that's basically the best you can do with that budget.
It's REALLY good.
You can spend any amount lower than that too.

I can deal with the price of the batteries, although i may try to set it up to buy 2 to start, and be able to add the other 2 later. And a perspex case(?) honestly never heard of it.

I did my math totally wrong, and my idea totally won't work.

Ask someone else, or wait for me to remember how to think again.

And you can't just buy 2, since you need the voltage to add up to 12+.
