PC/Gamecube hybrid FINISHED

[wotevajjjj]

I was cleaning up the attic today and found my old gamecube. In my opinion it`s the best console ever made. I saw if i could just slide it into the optical bays but it is a little bit to wide.

Step 1: Check if ngc still works, and it does

Step 2: Open up and clean the ngc

Comes with removable dust filter

Cleaned the fan

All apart

Step 3: Sand down the sides so it fits the bays (impossible)

so i tried sanding everything as thin as it could get without falling apart. It's still to wide...

Step 4: Forget step 3 and move on...

Step 5: Change of plans, I'm way to busy so it'll be a quick one, no 3d printed goodness or anything

Anyway, here's the normal case with the sides cut off and a little wood plate to hold it.

Step 6: Got some very thin plastic to make new (thinner) sides.

Step 7: Cleaned up the cutted sides.

Step 8: Cleaned the top bit.

So today the carbon fiber arrived, so first I glued the plastic sides on.

It was still to wide so I decided to go without sides.

From than on, all i had to do is put the vinyl on.

And put it inside the case.

Also had to do the cables ofcourse.

Now I said it was finished in the title, it isn't. I find it extremely difficult to find a rca to vga adapter thats availible and afordable...

so still on the ngc emulator atm... If you know a place (preferably in flanders) please tell me.

Needless to say, I like where this is going *Watchs*

I had one with the full sized dvd modded flip lid.

I sold it to a mate for £40 as he has four kids. They never used it though.

Mind you, not worth having back if he's lost the boot exploit.

Needless to say, I like where this is going *Watchs*

Me too.

3 out of 4 screws out, but accidently glued the last one.. might hace to make a metal screwdriver for it:-(

[Brooksie]

This sounds... Intestering. Will keep a very close eye on this

 

[wotevajjjj]

Has anyone got idea's for the color sheme ? My phantom is black btw..

Also I don't know if I should power it off a molex, or use the normal power brick so I can use it while my pc is off...

Decisions....

 

[yassarikhan786]

What other colours have you incorporated in your build? Almost all colours look good with black.

 

[wotevajjjj]

all black really except ud 5 mb and blue gpu.. guess blue then ?

 

[yassarikhan786]

Blue would look good. I'm a big fan of black and blue

.

 

[wotevajjjj]

black and blue it is! however im having some sanding problems.. im covered in plastic dust, so is my garden and pretty much everything... the botten part has really thin plastic, went trough it in a few spots... more filling up i guess...

Edit: turns out it won't be just a respray, gotta make a new case...
