make sure you get good ventilation in that suitcase, you could seriously bake a cake in in, so fans to suck fresh air in and blow hot air out. Depending on personal preference; i would love to see a window cutout and perhaps tinted black using car window tint film, that way you would not be able to see inside it until you turn on the leds.

Yeah, make sure you get some tactical venting.

Dunno if you can convert VGA - S-Video but with alot of converters, im sure its possible.

Thats pretty sweet Idea.
They have VGA to RCA or composite.  It is the same size as a DVI to VGA convertor.  Cost about 30 USD.  won't be s-video though

Yes I will have some fans placed in whatever spaces are left over lol.

I like the idea for the window...maybe some unusual shape because the hdd and "slimslotdvd" lol will be mounted to the inner of the lid over the pci slots which are unusable anyways due to pci cards wont fit in the box lol

If anyone could help me locate one of these vga to rca/composite video adaptors please link me!  :victory:


I'm already looking at lots of various things on ebay :D and if this project turns out as nice as i hope, i will be making other strange computers as well. :winker:

Looks sweet, cant wait to see the final product! Someone should think of some ideas for a computer case for me to put in my 1929 Chevy tudor sedan. Its gonna be a "rat rod" if you know what that is, so its gotta match the theme. Here's a pic of a finished "rat rod"...

if anyone is interested in purchasing one of these boxes that he used, i have a limited supply..

I will sell them for $10.00 USD+shipping


Current Stock ~4
i can easily get a few more though.... they are durable and good for storage of parts, if not making a pc case out of it!

Nice project! I would add the wifi, set up psphost, load iRshell on my PSPs and set it up to host the PSPs...
