Do you happen to know where I can get some of these switches? I was only able to find the tactile version, but I prefer the squishy feel :)

Love the sparkle case, nice build! May I ask you what kind of buttons you used in this project?

Considering how clean the wiring is, a semi-transparent top piece would look really awesome to see a bit of the internals :)

Thanks for the links! But I need a whole cooling assembly with coldplate & heatpipes & fins, also it needs to be powerful enough to cool ~ 80 watts of TDP.

I guess I will go with the GX20 type^^ Right now I'm struggling to find a good cooling solution for the CPU/GPU tho. I was thinking about getting some laptop coolers, but it's hard to verfiy compatibility without having them in hand.

Looks really neat, I also love the 3DS/2DS design. But do you think the original hinges will be strong enough considering the increase in weight? You may wanna switch to laptop hinges, which are designed for heavier displays.

Crazy how cheap they are :D Is there a way to use the original Dualshock 3 buttons? I was thinking of small PCBs with copper strips, so I can use the original membranes.

I see! I guess with plain "digital" switches every press will be registred as a full press. But as far as I know, only a few PS3 games actually make use of this feature anyway. The clicky switches sound interesting, are you refering to something like this...

I just had to add two 10k ohm ressistors from the common grounds to the standby voltage, and know all the buttons work when the pins are shorted to ground! Know I have to check which buttons I can use later, do you guys have any recommendations for some nice switches for all the buttons of the...

So the PlayStaion 3 arrived yesterday, and I made some advances. First I softmodded the PlayStation using PS3 HEN, that allows me to install my existing games onto the internal hard drive (which I replaced with a 500GB SSD), so I don't need to use the blu ray drive. After that I disassembled...

Oh wow, this community really got everything, thanks for the link! I got an aftermarket Gamecube controller here that I can hack up for this. Really neat I don't have to buy anything extra :D

That's quite a price! I guess that's a bit too expensive, escpecially considering that the panel itself isn't even great. I might try the 1024x600 displays, maybe the quality won't be too bad, even if it's not the native eresolution :3

Oh, the GX20 looks very neat aswell! I guess I'll go with that one, thanks! I was trying to find the parts for my build, but the only 7 inch screens I found only have a maximum resolution of 1024x600. Do you guys know where I can find a seven or eight inch screen with a real 720p or 1080p...

Thanks, that's convenient! I reconsidered my ideas and now I actually do want to integrate a controller into the design, to be able to play wii titles like xenoblade chronicles. These games can be played with the classic controller, but the problem is that I can't hook it directly to the wii up...

Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to increase the hole diameter of the four holes around the CPU, were the original cooler gets attached. Would it be possible to drill them out with a 3mm bit, or are there traces that can be damaged?

They sure look great, but they are only rated for up to 5A.

May sound weird, but I really don't like the look of those Tamiya connectors^^ I searched for alternatives, and XLR or Speakon ports might be a prettier alternative. XLR can work with up to 15A, Speakon even up to 30A of current. I'll receive the PS3 in a few days, so I can check it out.

I could actually use the internal power supply as an external one by making a small enclosure for it. As for the connector a simple DC jack sure won't cut it. I actually want to use a DIN like connector that can be screwed in, so there is no danger of unplugging the console accidentally and...

You can use one of them, but even the bigger one only has a capacity of 5 Wh. In comparison, a single 18650 cell with 3 Ah has a capacity of 11 Wh, and you usually use 2-4 of them. So if you want good battery life, you can't use the 3DS battery.

So I saw a listing for a used PlayStation 3 Super Slim with a broken disc drive, so I bought it and started to think about making it portable. Because of the high power consumption I will skip the battery entirely, so the console must run off a 12 volt external power brick. Other than that, the...
