You'll be reaching your two year anniversary on this thing soon. Am I supposed to believe that in order to make a case as good as tritons then it has to take two years?

Course now, for a guy like me, it might.

i'm a busy guy i dont have nearly enough time to work on portables as i'd like tryin to pay off some debts and move out of my parents house lol

couple of pics to keep ya'll interested

ETA: 2014

... George Carlin? Sure looks like him.

Are you gonna bring this to MGC?

nah, i should have it assembled and working sans battery before MGC and fully done not long after that.

its some dude on history international, and yep i'll hopefully have it working and put together in time for MGC

Can't wait to see it.

THAT ROOM: DO WANT.

well i made a little bit of progress on this at MGC! i got the hinge placement nailed down so the case opens and closes properly. i will be working on straightening out the front shell a little bit as well. its slightly warped, but the deflection is minimal. at most 1/4 of an inch/ on the internals front i got the LCD disassembled and i've decided to rewire the LED backlight from serial to parallel so that i dont need to source 18v that means i can use a TI boosting converter to run the whole thing off one 3.7v li-ion cell. this should be easier and more efficient than the GBO DC converter board i was trying to use before!

Nice.

So, does anyone have pictures of Triton working at MGC?

SS

probably not, i was in the benheck experience area quite a bit, but it was mostly fielding questions and helping with minor repairs. i fixed some guys gizmondo and an mp3 player. i'll be posting pics of my progress later, as well as streaming me working on it once i get my webcam back

I demand progresssss!!!!!!! NO MOAR IRL

just started a new job working 45 hours a week with two non consecutive days off per week no time for portables or much else when you're working 10 hours a day (5 on sunday) and dont have any real weekend

Well, i dont have that job anymore. and MGC is coming up in a few months, so i might be digging this out of storage and start cracking on it again, i have to sell some stuff before i can buy more parts so dont expect any updates till probably feburary the saga (2+ years in the making) continues!

I'm really looking forward to seeing more progress on this. The best projects are always the ones that require seasoning for many years in large oak barrels. Long portable builds are also good You know I actually have a cousin who can walk and speak who is younger than this project. Just saying.
