I've made quite a bit of progress so far so here's lotsa huge pics.
Case front at the start of the project, everything is frankencased in with a few coats of primer over top and sanded to make sure things look nice and smooth:
Start of the work on the back of case:
Motherboard trimmed and ready to be wired, Wiikey FFC wired and ready to go:
Heatsink is trimmed, ready to mount fan:
Case is 99% ready to be primed then painted. The rest of the holes are cut for switches, expansion ports, SD cards, etc. A little bit of the layout of the components is also shown:
Sanded the L/R triggers real nice and got the first coat of paint on em:
Sidewall retainers installed and ready, I have to superglue the nuts to the bolt holes still:
Couple shots of the case all closed up:
Case Painted! Got it pretty much perfect the first time this time with the help of some spray painting advice from Hailraizer and a bit more ocd primering and sanding beforehand.
I've been getting a bunch of the electronics wiring done the past few days. Made some decent progress.
Motherboard is all wired up and tested 100% working, it looks a bit messy but I'll clean up the wire mess once its mounted in the case:
Batteries are wired and ready:
Custom regulator is all wired and ready. For those who don't know, most portablizers replace the GC's standard regulator with these much smaller and more efficient Texas Instruments regulators.
Controller board is wired up:
Mario's low battery indicator wired and working, also in pic is the audio amp I'm using:
Heatsink/Fan ready to go:
Still lots to do. Making nice progress though. Let me know what you guys think!
) portable attempts to complete and utter shame
