they actually weigh about the same, and they are both like twice as light as any kind of nickel or lead battery

Godspeed, friend. Godspeed. You might need Ahnold to hold the portable for you while you play it though.

Good luck.

Whoaâ€¦

I saw that you were starting this on your site awhile ago, but the update I saw today is AMAZING! I really hope this becomes a portable (even though I don't really like the Xboxâ€¦), just to prove that the "impossible" can be done, even if it is a little clunky. You are the master of vacuum forming!

Update:

Well I've been real busy this past month with work and family and stuff. So here's a small update at where Im at.

1. I painted the shell the green I picked.
2. Finished the power surply so the xbox will run off 12v power adapter ( tested and it works

). Still have to order the battery.
3. Wired the controller.

All I have left to do is wire the screen and do a led mod on it. Finish the back piece and paint it. And put it all together.... I would say Im about 70% done with it. So Im hopeing to have it done by the end of the week, if everything goes right. For now here is some picture's of the shell painted....

More to come, so stay tuned, history in the making......

Its soo GREEN. Really looks nice, and it wil be interesting to see what an Xboxp looks like. Hope you can finish it without any problems.

Nice color of green! (green btw. is my favourite colour) Can't wait for the end result.

That is a nice green but I think it would look good with some sparkle in it.
Was it hard to split the controller or was it ok?
Now all I need is to build a vaccum table and a power supply for mine, and I could start.

I probably would've picked a darker shade of green, but that is very nice looking

.

Good luck with finishing it dkap01
