Plans So Far...
- Full Clear Case

-Flip Top mod
http://www.coolpc.com.au/catalog/images/fliptop-lg.jpg (http://www.coolpc.com.au/catalog/images/fliptop-lg.jpg)
With this I need to find a transparent slim version
-Purple LEDs in the case
-White LED Swaps
-Some form of cooling system, be it a fan or other means ... not for practicality merely for eye candy =P
-Transparent PS2 Controller (Pimped with LEDs)
-Six Axis Ps2 controller.

I want to have a six-axis for my PS2 but as you can see its a bitty big o_O
-Power on from Controller
I saw someoens post of this with a gamecube so I think Ill attempt it to =]
Thats all I got so far.
I plan to buy everything by the end of the week so anythign you feel like contributing idea-wise would be greatly appreciated :tup:
P.s. Sorry Tec I refuse to use el wire =P
Cheers
Indy
-
Sounds good so far. You might have trouble finding a transparent version of the flip top mod. Lol at the El wire, keep us updated
-
Yeah i fear the same. Hopefully I can find one although tbh I do indeed highly doubt it. Well at least for now....
Im thinking case etch aswell. A nice retro PS logo on the disc cover?
Uhm Im having trouble sourcing UV LEDs in the UK. Any help would be appreciated =]
-
DealExtreme sell UV LED's for cheap : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2398 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2398). Best I could find as I live in Australia
-
ebay proved more usefull :3
well i got bored so I've bought everything apart from a fan which i guess i dont really need =\
and kynar wire I want it to be colour coded :3
-
Lol, Ebay makes you buy more doesn't it? Its good you've got all the parts but how are you going to make the fan look good
-
fans jsut look good =P IMO
Once ive installed the case etc ill see where i can put it and how im going to implement the idea =] But i have a further Idea ... does anybody know if you can install an LCD and have TV output?
-
Why not put some LED's in the fan? It will take away that stock look
-
Lol of course their will be :P ... the whole damn thing will be lit up XD
it will look far from stock. But its not enough it needs somethign and i had it nwo i dont got it =[
Once ive done the visual changes ill develop something .... jsut need to think fo it first XD
how much space is their between case and componets on the top?
-
I'm not sure about how much space there is between the components and the top case, You will have to check yourself, after that you can start thinking up ideas
-
Yeah looks like i'll have to ...
-
K, Looks like this thing is on! Too bad no one else is listing in on it
-
well then its officially our project =P
-
Yep, Out little secret, no one will know :hifive:
-
mwahahah yup!! now to figure out how to do that thing we were talking about ... It WILL be pwnsome =P
-
Pwnsome and c00l, Just got to figure it out though
-
ok for your lcd in the top of the case look at

and for the panal im still looking
-
Thanks Robin :tup:
Vox and I will let you in on the main challenge we face when the time is right ... aka when all my parts coem XD
-
ok lol
but any lcd screen should do as long as it take an rgb input - or even buy the old portable ps2 screen and canabalyse it to make it smaller
-
nono i only need a small LCD =]
And the portable screen i will aquire at some point ASWELL!! =P
-
-Update-
Transparent Case arrived :3
-
Wow, that was fast! And so the mod continues, on MSN
-
haha yeah udner 24 hours I was well impressed :#1:
my only problem is I dont know where i bought what form so yeah o_O
Once i gots the rest it shall continue !!!
-
-Update-
Ok So as I sadi I got the transparent case but When I put it on the Lens doesnt move so it doesnt read discs, everythign else works fine.
VoX suggested it may be that I need a new lens but When i placed the old top back on it read the discs and I could paly games.
Unfortuantely i cant use a different top as the clear bottom case has a wierd clips that the original one doesnt =[
Any ideas?

compare the two cases... and whats extra on the clear case dremel away
-
Yeah, Indy has but he till can't get the drive to work. The case seem's to stopping it somehow
-
dremeling would work, would fit nice and would be functionable.
But the simple fact is I actually want the clear case :3
Ill need to play around with it and get back to you =]
-
yeh compare the cases and dremal and sand the clear one till it works
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
use your magic indy powers to turn the black one clear
-
hopes it works out for you
-
well i think i broke the lens now o.O
Its such a stress, I've got them to fit in every possible way and none of them allow the lens to move!
I need to look in on it more which is hard cos i cant see what happens with the normal case cos its not transparent. OH THE IRONY!!!!
-
That laser is a pain in the :censored:, not to mention the tedious sanding. You got your UV Led's so they should keep you entertained... unless they blow up something
-
Its actually doing my nut in o_O
I jsut dont get why its nto working I mean i can place the original case on it and it sometimes works which means the lasers not screwed, i think.
But when i fit either case it doesnt work :dntknw:
That sanding annoyed me and i htought it would be the end of my problems ... oh no =[
AAAAND I cant even be entertained with pretty lights cos its not clear so its pointless =[
and that stupid engine not fitting :angry: Gah! Nothigns workign for meee!!!!!!
-
Get me a photo of the two case (inside) and I'll try detect the problem. Well, good night for now
-
-Update-
Ok im an idiot =]
The laser has no problem yay!! The case wasnt htiting the 2 sensors Havent figured out quite how to fix it yet =\
The circled components are the sensors...im thinking tapie them down so the laser is always active?
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richspsxparts.com%2Fhowto%2Flidclosed.jpg&hash=c3b7c48df22a618495b06c3f0752de28ae2a1750)
Can you think of any problems I may face?
-
-update-
Ok got the laser moving with the clear case fitted, taped down a sensor and installed a little slider in the case so i have to manually tunr the other sensor on... bti of a stress but well well..
Each breakthrough comes with a corresponding problem though =[
Now the drive doesnt spin o_O
Will post back when i find a solution =]
--Project temporarily Ended--
Uhm i fused something =\
ok my watch hit the power switch, the LED went off...
I took it otu put it back in and it still would go on.
Perhaps I've only broken that bit. ill buy a replacement soon and see if thats the problem. If not I'll need a new PS2 =[
--Project temporarily Ended--
Additional Notes
If anyone has a PS2 slimline that they eiter want to donate or sell to me then I will greatly appreciate it. This one is propa gone.
Cheaper and easier to buy a new one than to repair it.
Thanks,
Indy
