Ok Ive only got simple ideas first so I need yor help with suggestions, where to get stuff etc...

Plans So Far...
- Full Clear Case
http://www.modchipstore.com/Crystal-Clear-PSTwo-Slimline-Flip-Top-Custom-Replacement-Case-16252.html

-Flip Top mod
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

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

IndyChav · « **Reply #2 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:41:59 PM »

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 =]

VoX · « **Reply #3 on:** June 01, 2008, 08:03:16 PM »

DealExtreme sell UV LED's for cheap : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2398. Best I could find as I live in Australia

VoX · « **Reply #5 on:** June 02, 2008, 03:56:21 AM »

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

IndyChav · « **Reply #6 on:** June 02, 2008, 04:04:19 AM »

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?

VoX · « **Reply #7 on:** June 02, 2008, 04:58:31 AM »

Why not put some LED's in the fan? It will take away that stock look

IndyChav · « **Reply #8 on:** June 02, 2008, 05:02:10 AM »

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?

VoX · « **Reply #9 on:** June 02, 2008, 05:17:59 AM »

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

IndyChav · « **Reply #10 on:** June 02, 2008, 05:24:49 AM »

Yeah looks like i'll have to ...

VoX · « **Reply #11 on:** June 02, 2008, 05:27:32 AM »

Once i gots the rest it shall continue !!!

IndyChav · « **Reply #23 on:** June 03, 2008, 10:58:10 AM »

-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?

Indy

compare the two cases... and whats extra on the clear case dremel away

VoX · « **Reply #25 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:45:02 PM »

Yeah, Indy has but he till can't get the drive to work. The case seem's to stopping it somehow

IndyChav · « **Reply #26 on:** June 04, 2008, 12:55:44 AM »

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 =]

robin1989 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2008, 03:57:42 AM »

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

tmandt · « **Reply #28 on:** June 04, 2008, 04:04:16 AM »

hopes it works out for you

IndyChav · « **Reply #29 on:** June 04, 2008, 04:09:23 AM »

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!!!!
