i don't think a USB cord would be able to carry enough curent to safely power a DC.Mario wrote:It depends on how many amps will be running through the wire. For that thickness, about 500mA should be ok.

The case will need to be made a bit bigger, and probably thicker.
Anyway, I have it down to 1 1/2 inches thick rich now. I can probably get another 1/8th off of it too by trimming the legs from the gd-rom drive. And yes, the system still runs like this.
The controller port, which isn't pictures will go were the modem port and were the gdrom used to connect.
I'm going to get rid of the old connections on the back, and give it only an svideo and sound hookup. I'll be giving it a new PSU also.
did you put some kind of heatsink on the CPU/GPU? i cant tell fromt he pics.

sorry about bumping replied to wrong thred (dam you Google chrome and your many easy to use tabs)
--edit--
since it's to late to take back the post might as well contribute.
what about using a DIN connector (The old style keyboard connector) Or mini DIN. From what I remember those wires were a much lower gauge than the 24/25 that USB uses.

BAD BUMP!!!!!!!!

no, this guy accidentally responded, not on purpose. plus he contributed somethig. The contribution probably was not needed, but he did not bump a thread to say "cool" or anything like that. So I'm cool with him
rest in peace, Ronnie James Dio! \m/

Re: Dreamcast slim project.
Well, since someone accidentally bumped this, I guess I can do an update.
I haven't really had the money, or time to work on this. I recently dropped out of highschool, and have no job, so stuff is a bit difficult for me right now. If I can manage to get a job I plan to continue this.

Re: Dreamcast slim project.
best bet is to get back into school and get your diploma or get your G.E.D. and hopefully your about to turn 18 as you cannot get your G.E.D until then if you choose that route. Its really tough to find a job without one or the other. Seen it happen to a friend of mine. But, I wish you best of luck in whichever route you choose.
