I´m low of money, so I decided recycle my first project, and get most stuff from it.
my first project has a lot of stuff, but it wasn´t really portable, and it also haven´t a controller built it, it also was ugly, and heavy.
At my second portable I will remove all useless stuff, like another controller ports, some serial ports and video/audio ports.
this will be a single player system only , the weight and case will be also some of my priorites making this project.
I´m also short of plastic tools, so I decided make it a wooden case, cause it is the only material I can handle properly I think.
well, that is all for the moment, this is a just started project. for moment I only have a few hardware hacks to this project, but there is lot of work to do.
I also has been take some ideas from bacteria,gamelver and another ppl projects . like the dvd drive reallocation,case design... ect
(thanks a lot for all those little genius ^^)
I also has made some pics for help anyone at his future projects.
well I will start from dvd drive fix



I also made some modifications to the controller:


There is also some previews of my mobo mods




part of an unfinished case module, and part of the screen

and finally the pic of the "ugly" soldering tool im using ^^

Well, what to say ....

thanks also for all the info at this site and people who make this comunity posible.
I will post some pics and updates when the project grow at the next days
