A PS3 case project: Getting rid of the touch buttons.

[ryguy425425]

My 360 PC is put on hold while I wait for some parts to magicly appear, and I thought I'd do something to help thin out my parts pile while I waited. I am working on a 360 in a ps3 case. I've got most of the parts to fit inside the PS3 shell, but I've run into my first snag. I want to use the origional touch power and eject button, but I have no idea how to make them work. The 360 uses a standard button that I will have no problem soldering on to, but there is'nt enough give in the plastic case to press the regular buttons down. I know it can be done, it was done on the only other PS360 on the internet (That had a big ugly hole cut in the front), but I can't figure out how. Thanks for all your help, and you can see what I have so far at http://orchardmods.piczo.com/PS360/

I solved the problem. I started to cut out the eject triangle with an x-acto knife, end then worked with my dremel at the bottom. The buttons aren't actualy molded to the plastic case, and if you dremel away at the botton they pop out mounted to a nice metal plate. I can post pics if anyone asks for them.
