Honestly I REALLY doubt that you are legit. You just joined the forums TODAY. How can you guarantee that you can build a portable? No pictures, no proof of anything. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, I just think you should put up some reason for people to commission you.

Well it depends on what you want it will be the cheapest i can do. I charge parts and 15$ an hour and it usally costs 50 to 100 for labor then you buy the parts

You obviously have no idea what you are dealing with if you think that it will only take $50 to $100 at $15 an hour to make a portable. That would be a grand total of 3 to 6 hours of labor, and I do not think even someone like ShockSlayer can make one that fast.

I am not a jerk, I am a longtime member here who has seen this happen a thousand times over, and it always ends the same way: Some poor guy who gave you his money hoping for a portable never gets one, and you either break parts on accident with no way to buy more, realize you do not have the skills to actually finish a portable, or unexpected things happen in your life that make it impossible to finish.

If you really think you can finish an entire portable in 6 hours, you are very mistaken. If you mean just the components, then you might be right, but the case can EASILY take 20, 30, 40, up to over 100 hours to finish. Especially since I doubt "you know what youre doing".

You should try to make a portable yourself so that you understand how hard it is, then sell it afterwards, so people can pay you based on how good it is. The only people who get commissions are modders who have already built great portables, that people will trust with their money in order to get another portable of the same or higher quality.

Ok well thanks for the advice but i do know what iam doing because iam almost finished with one rigth now and i will post pics soon. i have built xbox 360 laptops before so i learned a lot. your defaintly right about the case though:) sorry for the Rage there i just hate it when people say i cant do something:) and the reason for it to say cheap is because iam new to this n64p thing so i need to sell some first to get known. Then i can up the price.

I'm pretty sure this is the same 11 year old kid who's been spamming this same crap on MR and MBB. Someone on MR said they tried to make some transaction with him and got nasty msg's from the kids parents, and canceled paypal payments. Similar thread he made on MR was soon after clozerized.

Click "quote" on my post, so you can see how I made the image show up:

You should finish it first, then sell it. That is how you gain reputation around here, not by asking for money with no proof of your skills.

Also, do you have any pics of your 360 laptops? To build even one is a pretty big accomplishment, much less several, so don't blame me for being a skeptic. :P

So... erm... this is not you???

Just so everyone knows this is a underage kid. I did a transaction with him for my Portable N64 and after he paid me via paypal I got a message from his parents saying he is a minor and has no business buying or selling anything. And then they canceled the paypal transaction. So watch out for this.


Edit: I'm sure the powers that be on both sites could compare IP's. If its not the same person I'll gladly remove my posts.
