Give it about a year. We got some wizards in these forums.

This is very true! Box full of miscellaneous components and objects.

This makes me Wiip...

I never even thought of taking pieces out of it!

Great answer! This will help me out a lot!

How accurate does the cut have to be when trimming the Wii motherboard? It's gonna be my first time doing something like this and I don't want to cut too much. To avoid doing so, I plan on leaving a little extra board. Is this OK to do or will left on components effect functionality?

Real short and random question: What does everyone do with their console cases when they're done harvesting the motherboard?

This thread will answer most of the questions you have: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/resistors-for-custom-regulators.1078/

This is also a great thread to read over regarding custom regulators: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/resistors-for-custom-regulators.1078/

Yup, exactly. That's the world we live in...

It's the fault of the consumer and the scalper essentially... Scalpers get a lot of money and consumers get their product their willing to pay a lot of money for... That's not how I roll though. I'm just gonna wait.

Omg. Yes, it's good... 2*14.8= 29.6 and 29.6<50

Refer to the diagram that I upload from the custom regulator thread and the links Gman provided in this thread...

Great response! Thanks a ton!

Thank you so much Gman! This is very valuable information!

Thanks! This helps a whole lot! What about for 5v?

Where's the best place to get the listed resistors for custom regulators? (87.2k, 33.8k, 1.89k, 353) I'm having a hard time finding some for an affordable price. If there aren't any resistors with the exact value, what are the best combinations to put in series? Links would be appreciated!

Thanks! I might use this with Artic Silver in the near future.

How did this turn out?

Hola chicos y chicas! I've been lurking on many forums and drooling over multiple portables people made for the longest time... then I realized I could do it too. Thank you for making such a great community! BitBuilt is a portablizers best friend!
