Nice! How long did it take?

Is that fiberboard or regular wood? I like the idea because it looks easy to cut. Nice job

[Hifeno]

It took a total of 13 hours to build.

It is brown hardboard from Homedepot. It is a lot easier to cut than wood, but not as easy as plastic.

I'm glad to see that you put the screen to a good use.

That wood is a nice cheap solution. It'd be nice to see it swapped out for a sheet of plastic in the future.

Good job. I really like how long that battery life is.

nice, also lexan looks nice, paint the one side, have that side face inward and it looks beautiful. Plus it could be bulletproof if you get the right lexan.

[Hifeno]

I know I could have used plastic or Plexiglas but I chose not too. Why is everybody so quick to tell you what you could have done. This is what I chose to do. I will probably paint it later but I think it looks just as good as a lot I have saw on here.

[SonyPortableizer]

no, I was all about the bulletproof aspect, because I just watched the myth busters episode "Firearm Folklore"

[Hifeno]

Okay I just watched that one too. That's funny

I just keep staring at that picture and I don't see any wires going from the n64 side to the screen side. Do they go through the back?

[Life of Brian]

Why is everybody so quick to tell you what you could have done.

Amen to that. Congrats on finishing your project!

Well I didn't mean to offend you. I said it in the middle of congratulating you and complimenting your work. A person who can't take criticism with his praise shouldn't be putting out his art for people to see.

I like how the way its set up if you reallu want to you could swap sytems and the top bord. For the case i would have used a wii. but hay thats me ( I love it)

[Hifeno]

I just keep staring at that picture and I don't see any wires going from the n64 side to the screen side. Do they go through the back?

Yes they come out the back kinda like ben's 360 laptops.

I did not mean to sound upset I just notice that everyone does that on here. Kinda crazy sometimes.

Sorry I didn't respond to the messages like everyone else does I don't know how you guys but other peoples post in your responses.
