Nintendo 64 HD

[dcattena]

Hey my first idea i guess that im going through with, its basically a N64 shell with a pc inside.
It will still have the 4 front controller ports but these will be attached to 2 n64 to USB adapters.

My main use for this will be basically an n64 emulator as a n64 console, all your favorite games but in full HD which is great eye candy :D.

Ive already done some tests with some adapters and emulation on a 52" screen the games turnout fantastic along with perfect sound.

Only difficult problems im facing is fitting a mini-itx inside the console case, my measurements so far have theoretically proved that this can work im just waiting for a console ive purchased to arrive so i can get some final measurements to see if this is viable :)

Heres the list of parts i will be using:

SilverStone Nitrogon NT07-775 Low Profile CPU Cooler:

I have about 4.7cm of total height to use and the 17cm x 17cm motherboard just fits :) so theoretically it will work :D

Any feedback is welcome.

Keep checking for updates soon :)

cheers.

Bonus points if you get the ram slots to line up with the cartridge slot.

[mofo]

Would a 2.5 inch hdd fit in a cartridge?
mod a cart, stick the hdd in it, run the satas to the mobo, glue in place.

Or if there is enough depth to the n64, place the mobo as far forward as possible and make the cart a hot-swappable hdd cage by attaching the satas to the bottom of the case and placing the hdd vertically inside the n64 cart. When the cart is inserted the satas plug in and voila, boot.

[dcattena]

Thats a pretty awesome idea! Ill see if i can have a perminent cartridge in there housing the hard drive. It might be difficult seeing as the cpu cooler is right near the cartridge slot.

[TheGreatSatan]

Ive already done some tests with some adapters and emulation on a 52" screen the games turnout fantastic along with perfect sound.

Uh :eek:

[dcattena]

Lol is that a good thing?

[Luke122]

I think so.. ;) I've got my Mac Mini attached to a 37" Sharp Aquos, only 720p, but still looks great. Gaming? No. Media/Surfing? Yes.

Anyways, I'm a big fan of retro console mods, so I say run with this project! The hot swap SATA cartridge thing would be cool, but not exactly practical. Hdd's are a bit fragile, so parking it in a removable cartridge would just be unnecessary risk IMHO.

Now you COULD do a usb flash drive in the cartridge, since I cant think of any emulators that require drive access faster than USB. You could look into another thread on here, where someone was wanting to run apps from a USB drive. Park your emu's on there, or even some apps.. etc. Maybe even run Readyboost and get a performance increase from it.

:D

[dcattena]

Yeah the hdd does sound abit impractical, the usb does sound nice but maybe i could just stick with the consolw for now and can worry about those towards the end. :)

Media/surfing would be great too, i might need a little more than 160 gig if i wanna get alot of media on there :S

ill get a wireless mouse and keyboard setup too but it might ruin the picture of a typical living/tv room with pc accesories around. Hopefully i can get a remote for everything and the n64 controllers as a mouse and some keyboard shortcuts which ive managed to make them do so far :)

Still waitin for the console to arrive!

[dcattena]

Hey just got the console, after about 6 days from ordering it, ive been hacking away at it for half an hour or so with good results just need to rest a bit with this dam sickness ive got thats lasted the past 7 days! lol heres some pics,

[dcattena]

just cut the back half of the bottom part of the casing, worked out pretty good needs a cleanup but gives good results.

Anyone know anything about re-sanding plastic back to or close to original gloss, because now that ive cut most of this case on the inside whats a good method of fixing it up? Maybe along the lines of fine grit sandpaper and wet sanding is what i can think of.

cheers

[BS Mods]

This is a cool mod.

As far as getting the plastic back to smooth and glossy, it's pretty tough. Usually you have to sand it and paint it the original color to get the gloss. If it's really rough you can use a primer first to fill sand scratches, wet sand the primer with 1000 grit, then paint over that.

[Snowman]

You could also try some wetsanding and a plastic polish like plastix

[msmrx57]

Someone on here used Novus plastic polish on something... :think: Nope can't remember who or what log, but they said it worked great after a very fine grit 1500 or higher. SXRguy has used it on acrylic on a couple of his logs as well.

[SXRguyinMA]

yep, novus 3 (harsh grit) and 2 (finer grit) together with a cloth buffing wheel work great! Check out my rockin case log, I used it a LOT in there :up:

[dcattena]

thanks SXRguy looks great, awesome info sounds like it could work, should i be looking at about 1500 or higher grit to get that nice finish? Ive got a little buffer wheel too to use at the end.

[SXRguyinMA]

when I did all that I went 1000 to 1500 to 2000, then the buffer. that plastic is probably softer than acrylic though, so take it REAL easy with the buffer so you don't melt it :up:

[dcattena]

Sounds good :) im gonna be picking up some sandpaper today, ill take it easy with the buffer ill just do bit by bit until its reasonable. I should have some pics up later :D

[Luke122]

If you are just worried about polishing up the inside of the case, I wouldnt bother, since the hardware is going to hide most of the case interior anyways.

[dcattena]

I know what u mean luke, i just want to go through with it because if i leave it i feel like ive done a half assed job along the lines of "you cant see it why do it". Good idea n i see where ur comin from but i still wanna go through with it :) has to look pretty everywhere :P cheers

[dooglo]

Cool mod. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

D.

[dcattena]

Hey just an update here, just finished cutting the top half of the case and sanded it with my nice 600 and 1200 grit sandpaper :) so smooooooooooooooth along with some buffing. I couldn't get rid of most of the deeper cuts which you can see in some of the pictures.

Another problem ive run into after doing some more measurements is that a normal 2.5" hdd wont fit inside this case alone with the components which is a problem :O luckily i have found this lil life saver:

http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=StorageSolutions/PCNotebookHardDrives/MKxx33GSGSeries

A 1.8" toshiba hard drive, you can get them up to about 320gig, there a bit more expensive but after some measurements this will fit perfectly.

My sandpaper!

http://i38.tinypic.com/2q03asz.jpg

Trying out the sandpaper :)

http://i36.tinypic.com/2w2ekc9.jpg

Cut the back out from the top half of the case.

http://i35.tinypic.com/y9i1.jpg

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! i thought this was the end of everything!

http://i34.tinypic.com/b87kv5.jpg

Top finnaly cut and sanded :) looks shiny, and all done with half a bit!

http://i35.tinypic.com/2hi1kxz.jpg


Check back later in the week for some more updates :) thanks :D

[dcattena]

Would anyone know where i can get dimensions of the chipset cooler on the zotac motherboard? ive looked everywhere!!

[f8l_0e]

If you do go with the 1.8" drive, I suggest that you copy the ROM images to a RAM drive before running them and force the HDD to sleep. 1.8" drives are really only designed for mp3 players like the iPod and aren't typically supposed to be spinning/accessing all the time.

--EDIT--

Never mind, I should have read the specs on the link you provided first. This must be a new breed of 1.8" drives.

[dcattena]

Yeah i know thats what i thought too that these were just replacements for ipods but these new toshiba ones just came out 5400rpm sata connections pretty neat :) i cant think of anything else small as this tho for data storage /os because of the amount of space. If i can get the size of that chipset cooler on the motherboard it would be a great help!

[ryguy425425]

I realy can't wait to see the finished product. It was a sad day when my old N64 finally gave out. I don't suppose you have the guts to your case do you? lol

[dcattena]

@ryguy No i dont sorry i really need the guts to one tho, not working of course :) because i need the connector plugs for the controllers, if anyone can offer some :) Ive seen some motherboards for sale on some websites for about 20 bucks which is alrite.

Ryguy could u maybe send me your motherboard or at least the grey connector plugs? would be a awesome help :D cheers

[ryguy425425]

i'll have to take another look at it. It broke at my grandmother's house, so I didn't have my tools to take a look at it. If I decide it's unfixable I'll send some parts your way.

[dcattena]

oh awesome thanks mate

[dcattena]

hey just a small update here with just some test fitting with a pretend motherboard and cpu cooler exact size :)

http://i35.tinypic.com/30lyl2o.jpg

Justttttttttt enought room, theres about 3 mm of space up top.

http://i33.tinypic.com/2q8byp4.jpg

All closed up

http://i37.tinypic.com/2uik8z7.jpg

[Trace]

Is that mobo mock-up the correct thickness?

[BuzzKillington]

It looks about right if you look at the side view.

[dcattena]

hey yeah im not sure how thick the board actually is my mockup is about 2.5mm thick, would you know what the standard thickness would be?

[dcattena]

I read somewhere its about 1.577mm thick i think which is actually even better for the space i currently have.

[Trace]

I mean if you include standoffs (or anyway you are mounting it)

Just checking :P

[dcattena]

I cant use stand-offs ill have no room im planning to screw and bolt each section down, maybe a thin piece of foam for the soldier joints under the board. Itl be a tough one.

[Diamon]

Airflow and cooling seems to be an issue with the design. If you mount the mobo directly on the base air could get trapped there and reach very high temperatures. Maybe you could get a more low-profile cpu cooler?

[dcattena]

Thats the lowest profile i could find that will cool a core 2 duo. The cpu fan is in a good place to get air i might need to try and work out a exaust fan. I want to keep it looking as orignal as possible.

[Notyab]

looks like fun!

[dcattena]

Hey just a quick update motherboard is on order should be a few days and the psu should be ordered soon :D ill post pics soon as i can :D

[Trace]

Gratz on the feature

[dcattena]

Thanks for the feature Trace. Just some test fitting with a new 40mm exhaust fan and the n64 adapter mounts.

Fits really snug.
http://i53.tinypic.com/ivbgr4.jpg

Adapter mounts.
http://i54.tinypic.com/2kmyyp.jpg

One of the adapter circuts.
http://i54.tinypic.com/2ciigs9.jpg

You can see the 4 wires which will be connected to the motherboards 6 onboard usb ports. The black adapter connectors will be removed and wired to the front connectors on the console.

The motherboard will arrive this week and by tuesday i should have some more parts.

Check back later in the week for more updates :)

cheers

[dcattena]

ok just got the motherboard VERY exciting! cant do much now cause its midnight just keeping you guys posted :D heres some pics of the mobo and some test fits ;D like a glove :)

http://i53.tinypic.com/bdks5k.jpg

Bunch of stuff from the box :D

http://i54.tinypic.com/65d5bd.jpg

Test fitting :D fits perfectly! woohoo

http://i51.tinypic.com/wlampe.jpg

All closed up, ill have to make a custom backing

http://i51.tinypic.com/r74mz4.jpg

Check later in the week for more updates i just gotta find some good screws and alot of washers to get this even.

Cheers

[polvorito]

Hi I'm making almost the same mod, I've just managed to install OSX on a Zotac ionitx-a-e, and now I'm waiting to receive a nintendo 64 (hopefully tomorrow)
My objective is to make a HTPC.
I'm also looking into a nice paint (maybe white) once the case is finished

[dcattena]

Oh ok thats cool goodluck man ull need it. If u need any pointers on the project just pm me.

[dcattena]

Picking up the 40mm fan this Friday and some nuts to hold the motherboard down. If anyone has a broken n64 motherboard or just the 4 grey original controller ports please contact me. Thanks

dcattena

[dcattena]

hey just screwed the motherboard in place and the new 40mm fan, i got a box of heatshrink aswell which is fun :D and a momentary switch. All for 5 bucks which is awesome! heres some pics with a good camera this time of the overall progress :D thanks

[dcattena]

It was tinypic hosting website they just replaced my images with adds.. ive fixed them now.

[dcattena]

Cpu cooler just arrived should be some pics tonight installed :)

[dcattena]

Ok its been ages and this project is goin pretty slowly but i got the cpu cooler today so i can power it up now with a spare psu i have. Works very well, the cooler is ridiculously short....not short enough tho ill have to trim a bit off the top half to get the case closed up again. Im thinking of installing a operating system on a usb and boot off that, or else i might just have a separate drive plugged into the usb which will have everything on it, i dont mind the hdd being outside the case. Heres some pics of the testing and setup hopefully ill get the psu soon and close it all up :D

Any suggestions for the hdd?

coooler box :D

My idea for the external hdd, im going to mod it into a old game box aka goldeneye or something then it will be usbed to the comp. It fits the theme and doesnt make it look half assed external drive :P any comments?

A N64 dd would provide plenty of room for the mod...
For the low price of 1500$ :)

[sanxsaint]

of all Nintendo games, i like Super Mario best, does anyone in line with me?

[d_stilgar]

Mario Kart 64 here.

[dcattena]

Just a quick one, ive decided on a storage solution. Im going to have 2 x 32Gb USB flash drives inside a game cartridge which is then attached in the slot.
1 USB is for the operating system which ive decided will be Ubuntu :D and second is media / roms which can be removable so i can update the data on it.

Psu is coming soon i hope :) other than that theres nothing else really happening.

Also I would like to start a vote for which game should be in the cartridge slot for the final product.
This has to be well known and a great game all round. Just post what you think it should be and ill decide in a few days :)

Cheers

[Snowman]

Golden Eye or Perfect Dark

[f8l_0e]

+1 GoldenEye

I can't tell you how many times I'd just replay the intro level to see how far away I could snipe the garrisons on the dam.

Rare kind of pissed me off when they sold themselves to Microsoft Game Studios, which is why we won't be seeing the N64 versions of Killer Instinct, GoldenEye, Donkey Kong Country, or Banjo Kazooie on the Wii Virtual Console any time soon. :evil:

[Luke122]

I would say use any game, the crappier the better, and print your own label for it, to be whatever you want.

Why cut up a classic like MarioKart or Goldeneye?

[d_stilgar]

Agreed with that unless you can find a broken version on ebay.

Im going to buy a crappy game for like nothing and i am going to print my own, im wondering what game im going to print on it. Any more suggestions ill make the decision friday arvo.

[Snowman]

I can buy any 64 game for like a dollar at the local flea market but they are open WEIRD hours.

[dcattena]

Just wired up the controller adapters, this is where they will sit and both ports plug straight into the motherboard usb. They both still work....phew... i still need some old n64 parts like the controller ports which i still cant fine! If anyone can help that would be awesome.

I only wanted to share my work with everyone. I though that because we were working on the same console it was relevant. That's all I assure you, no bad intentions meant.
I PM dcattena before I posted my thread and also put a link to his thread on mine.
I like very much what dcattena is doing I already told him.

They where so small that I though it could fit in
Maybe you can find something similar in an electronic shop, maybe on ebay, if you look for "micro switch " or try to find some in an old case, maybe an old keyboard?

I cut the original buttons, filled the with them mastic to add holes for retaining

the screws are only for retaining the buttons from lifting off
and the plastic construction is made with super glue ( I used a lot of that)

The buttons are about 7mm height

I know is a tricky part, the ram being just under...

I have to go now, but I'll have a look on ebay this evening to see if I find something that could do it for you
c u later

[dcattena]

thanks again i have a momentary switch now im just trying to get a on/off style switch to work as momentary lol im nearly there. thanks again

[polvorito]

dcattena
I made a quick search on ebay: if you look for "push button switch pcb" you can find many switches like the one I've used for the reset button,
if you look for "1 way switch pcb" you get the one for the power button
this stuff is very cheap (like Qty 25 for 7 AU$) and comes from taiwan.

I was using the 1 way switch for power, it works but is not really appropriate for a pc mobo, in common PCs the power is a push button so I've changed using the reset button as power

The power button is working but I haven't connected anything on it. Maybe I'll just stick a resistance on it and use it to have two speed...?

[dcattena]

Im still thinking the best way is to have the power switch graze past the top of a momentary switch as you push it to on position.

[polvorito]

the thing with that kind of switch is that when you put it on the ON position and leave it there, the system goes off after 3 seconds. To avoid going off you need to put it on the ON position and just after put it back to the OFF position manually.
Maybe adding a spring can do the trick...

[billygoat333]

or... I think he is saying just as you are moving the switch to on, it brushes the momentary switch to connect then disconnects as the button travels to on. could work with a copper contact... you could def. make your own.

My Dell lappy's power switch was just a bunch of wires and a copper plate that when you pressed on, the wires hit the copper plate and completed the circuit. (it was a bit more complicated than that, but you get the gist)

[dcattena]

Yeah thats what i was trying to do initially i just need more bits to work with im just finding random scrap around so far :(

[dcattena]

Hey just still waiting for parts :( controller ports are on their way :) im getting a new power switch which will work with the original switch and a 1.8inch sata drive which will sit under the old n64 ram slot.

Also ive removed the 40mm fan, it was ridiculously loud and running temperatures are still about 55-60 degrees which is great.

Ill be setting up windows 7 ultimate with all emulators and the controller ports should be running soon for use with the original controllers.

Thanks :)

Dcattena

[SXRguyinMA]

nice!

[polvorito]

that's great!

[d_stilgar]

Looking good!

[nevermind1534]

If you find that you need the fan, you could hook the 12V fan input to a 5V rail, and it will run slower.

[dcattena]

Yeah sounds like a good idea ill see first ill do some load tests with the case on and get some numbers.

[dcattena]

Put the power button in, how it works is there is a mom / off / mom switch underneath. As you slide upwards it turns on, and then flicks itself back to the center. If you flick it down it will reset.

It's coming together pretty dang nice dude!

[polvorito]

that looks nice, I like the power button idea

[dcattena]

Just wired up the reset side of the switch and attached the 40mm fan again, except onto the back of the cartridge where it sucks air out from underneath since its all hollow. I might have to find a 5v rail cause i know the sound it makes now will kill me!

How are the temperatures turning out with the cartridge as compared to polvitos mod where he used a grate instead?

[dcattena]

Well i always wanted a cartridge there i havnt got any final numbers yet without a operating system but it was idling for about 2 hours and it wasnt very hot at all and the 40mm was drawing out hot air aswell so it seemed to be working. Mine will always be hotter as its running a core2 duo compared to the atom in polvitos.

[dcattena]

Everythings nearly done, just need a hard drive and this will be on the road! ive kept the back open i just like the look of it for some reason :D ive shortened the power supply cable to be just a port at the back and the controller ports are now complete and all wired up :D soon as i get a hard drive i can get some tempurature results but so far its all good :)

Thanks for everyones comments and help, the beginning of this project on the 2nd of August was a big step for me i didnt even think ide do it but here i am a few months later with the most awesome n64 :D

Shouldn't cause any problems. The system isnt going to be moved around while its on.

Now this is an awesome idea mate, not only is it a pc inside an n64 but it's for running an n64 emu, truly awesome, not been around here much lately so been missing out on some fantastic mods.
Beautiful mod mate +rep:up:

[dcattena]

Thanks, i hope i can finish this soon :)

[dcattena]

I checked out maximus arcade and it works AWESOMELY ill have to set it up but it looks promising.

[Legionaire]

Hi I was wondering. You modded the controller ports to accept usb, right?
But how does this actually work you can't stick a usb stick in it.

Are you going to paint the n64 as well?

Legionaire

[dcattena]

No im gonna keep it original colour, the controller ports are wired to actual n64 controller to usb adapters, you can see them in the previous pictures. Ive then wired them to connect onto the main board usb inputs.

[dcattena]

Andddddddddddddddd one step back again :(

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2055/p1010001tb.jpg

Does anyone know if i can just get this replaced? without replacing the entire heatsink and fan.

Thanks

[BS Mods]

DOH!!! Bummer.

Isn't that the Silver Stone fan? Call them and see if you can have a fan sent out to you without the heatsink. Tell them what mod you are doing and they might even hook you up a little. ;)

[dcattena]

hrm good idea i did email them i got some random stuff back i might drop them a line again :D cheers mate

Cheers

[msmrx57]

That bites, especially when you're at a point where you need it to move forward.

[BS Mods]

Hey I know a company that has a lot of similar cables. They are Logic Supply. Might be worth a try.

[CorsePerVita]

Someone should put the power supply in a gamecube so that they look like a console set.

[dcattena]

Its practically the last part of this whole project and i cant really do anything at all but wait....ill check out that website bs thanks :). Im thinking of a mod inside a gamecube now too, maybe not a power supply but a whole htpc, but ill worry about that later. Thats for all the support.

Dcattena

[CorsePerVita]

Rad stuff either way!

[jpmeyer038]

I wanna do something like this to my dreamcast. it will be so cool! did your board come with an external power supply?

[dcattena]

I bought the external power supply, there usually not included. Ive never seen one included with one.

[StormRider]

do you mean mounted on the back of an lcd screen? if so, yes, I've wanted to do that ever since I saw this: http://metku.net/index.html?path=mods/hybred/index_eng

[dcattena]

Yes thats exactly what i want to do! Im thinking a LED screen since there thinner, and ive found all the parts that will fit including psu! Just cost is the drawback for me

[StormRider]

Great minds think alike, I see :D
I see a few things wrong with that set-up. first, that PSU has no way to be plugged in unless you use a power cable extender or build your own, not to mention a metal retainer of some kind for the psu to keep it from coming loose and crushing some other parts. you should probably put it next to the outside of the case to help solve both problems.
second, the graphics cards are drawing air through the metal(I assume it's metal) dividing wall between the screen components and the computer, so they'll overheat like crazy. to fix that, flip them the other way around. also, there are at least two more problems with that arrangement. first, you will probably need either a pci riser card or extender cable to plug them in. second, if you want to use them in crossfire together, they'll have to be very, very close to each other, probably on the same side.
oh, and don't forget room for any fans/watercoling/wire management/other parts you plan to put in it. like a cd drive, for example, unless you plan on going external

[dcattena]

Everything would be bolted down and yeah the images on the graphics cards are wrong but i didnt have any other pics lol and they would be attached with a pci extender cable hence them being able to be on either side. But thanks for the thoughts it was just a lil brain wave thing i had. Would be very awesome if it worked :)

[dcattena]

Still....waiting...for....adapter.... should be about a week now. HOPEFULLY. Please let this pain end. Sorry to all the people following this to let you hang on for so long but blame hong kong. Soon as i get it there will be non-stop updates as i finish this great project. Thanks for all the help again and keeping up my motivation for this mod :D

Hopefully be back soon,

[SXRguyinMA]

is it going to matter to the SATA drive that it's missing the 3.3V (orange) line?

[NightrainSrt4]

It shouldn't for most drives. The 3.3v line was added for compatibility reasons IIRC. Most drives don't use it, so it shouldn't be a problem in this case.

[Waynio]

It shouldn't for most drives. The 3.3v line was added for compatibility reasons IIRC. Most drives don't use it, so it shouldn't be a problem in this case.

Interesting fact I didn't know about :up:.

[dcattena]

Im not 100% sure about that i dont think the drive needs it but ill check some specification sheets and see. Hrm ok the drive actually needs 3.3v to run and nothing else. I dont think my power supply has a 3.3v line :( Some wiring needs to take place here, is there anywhere where i can get the line?

[dcattena]

Ok i might have to steal a 3.3v off the 24pin atx plug, thats the only place i can see right now. This is gonna be risky :D

[AmEv]

No 5v-3.3v resistor?

[nevermind1534]

No 5v-3.3v resistor?

That's exactly how my adapters with 3.3V do the conversion. Or if you want less power loss, you could use a TI switching regulator. TI will send you one for free; just let me know if you're interested, and I'll get you the link.

[dcattena]

Ill see what the adapter can do tomorrow when i get it, hoping it has a resistor built into it, or else ill go with a resistor along the line, thanks AmEv.
Thanks for the suggestion nevermind ill see how it goes and ill pm you if it doesn't work out.

Hey everyone, i got some good news and some bad news. Good news is i have finnaly installed the hdd today and everything is closed up fine. Ive just finished installing windows 7 and works like a charm, pictures will be up soon. Down side....i was powering the drive from my desktop as the power from the pico-psu was not sufficiantly powering the hard drive. It would spin up, then die, then try and spin up again and just die. Plus the micro sata to sata adapter was getting VERY hot. Ive come to the conclusion that the 3.3v from the atx plug i stole isnt sufficiantly supplying the corrent power. Im now figuring out how to get 3.3 from the 5v supply i have seperatly.

So far im thinking a zener diode in series with some more diodes or with another resister to get the correct voltage drop over them.

Any help would be grateful :)

So close to the end everyone. Thanks for all your help.

Cheers

[dcattena]

Just ordered a new adapter that will convert the dedicated 5v line i have to 3.3v so i can use it for the micro sata power. about 10 - 15 working days :( then everything will be done. Stay tuned for some pictures.

Once again, another adapter.

Hey everyone, i know you've been waiting for this post for quite a while. Its finally finished! :D its been a pretty stressful 7 or so months but the N64 HD is up and running ready to play all your favourites. From Goldeneye to Battletoads Double Dragon :)

I'd like to thank everyone for all the support along the way i cant thank you enough, you've kept this project alive to the end.

The hard drive was probably the biggest set back but after alot of trail and error i found that the sufficient power was from another port on the pico psu. I know it sounds simple enough but it was quite annoying to work out. I found this out after using a old xbox 360 power supply, after the hdd still failed with this power, i came to the conclusion that it was something else. The port is was previously using was labeled HDD, which is why i would assume it would be the correct port, but for some reason it wasn't....but hey it works in the end.

All there is to do now is maybe some cleanup of the inside and just finalizing some software configurations.

Now heres some pictures you've all been waiting for :) There will be a video posted up later of some game intros running on the system :)

Some temperatures after some gaming and exhaust fan not running, temps are around 50ish on the gpu with the exhaust fan on high.

Been playing for some time now , awesome fun! anyone is welcome to join :) Im a bit worried about the hdd, its running temp is about 50ish degrees and the max operating temp is 55.....so im gonna look at some other cooling methods tonite, im getting another 40mm fan ill see what i can do. Thanks again, ill keep you posted.

[dcattena]

Great job on finishing it.

It turned out fantastic!

Keep up the good work.:up:

[dcattena]

Just installed Team Fortress 2 for a lan i got coming up, actually runs pretty well. Graphics card got to a nice 68 degrees :)

All the software has been setup so it now runs a media center, and all emulators from Nes to Sega genesis. All with just the controller input only, no keyboard mouse.

A few more pc games have been installed and configured for the controllers, eg: flatout 2 and Trackmania :)

Ill try and get some videos and pictures up if you like.

Thanks.

Question:

Would flipping the GPU fan make any temp change?

[dcattena]

Well i initially had it blowing onto the heatsink which bumped the temp up to a nice 95degrees :) its flipped now and under game stress 68 is pretty good. Idle is about 40-50 ish.

Let's boil water!!!1!

Wow, looks awesome and turned out great. Was thinking of doing the same thing except with an Xbox 360 shell.
