Fantastic work, as already said. But Zen, I have a question: Won't your hands completely cover the vent holes?

Thanks guys!! No your hands won't cover because you don't wrap your hand around the back. Only a few fingers might get close to the vents.

I have played on this thing for hours on end and have had no issues whatsoever.

I cut down the original heatsink and added a small fan beside it then sealed the heatsink and fan together so that it sucks air in from one side and blows it out the other

How were you able to fit the system in such a small case. I've been interested in making a pocket sized gamecube portable and Id love to know how you did this.

Hey. I've never made a portable, but I'm planning on making a gamecube for a summer project. I was wondering what motherboard cut you did, as the case I've already made is very similar in dimensions to yours.
