just finished the GCp mkII and it is much better than my first. the controls are fantastic, the case lookd much better and now has a disc cover i really dont mind the massive thickness that it added though because i think it made it look pretty good, and i got rid of that damn memory card portB that pisses me off so much :P. the only thing thta really bothers me is the charge jack because it made it hard to close the unit without going in and sanding a bunch of crap (i was stupid and didn'nt think before i drilled the hole), well here it is and hope you guys enjoy

That's a really sweet looking case. Any other things done to improve it?

With each new case, I can see your vaccuum forming skills increase. Soon you'll be as good as dkap! Keep it up. Oh, and I kinda like that protruding bulk in the back.

yeah i stuck some 5600ma li-polys inside but that is about it

thanks for the comments guys :D i spent a lot of time on this case but some of the bondo is still a little rough in the hard to reach places. hopefully next case i can make it a little better in the bondo portion :D

EDIT: the 7808 gets really really hot, to the point i can feel the heat through my case, does anyone know if they make DC-DC convertors that are suitable for psone screens that can take 14.4 volts

turbo: they certainly do!

check out the PTN78000w at TI, but there are also other ones that might be more suitable (hint: look in the datasheet how efficient they are at your required voltage... pick the most efficent one)...

this one is ~88% efficient at you voltages

looks great, Turbo :D.

a bit large, yes, but it's still portable ;). Anyway, are you also having that screen problem, though?
