A little over a month of work and it's done. Made from 3/16" & 1/4" acrylic plastic. Lots of fine cutting, fileing, sanding, epoxying, fitting and painting.
Simple flip-top design. Reset & Power buttons intact. Lever for activating the door position switch. Power indication.
that looks very sick man! i love it. if i tried anything like that it would end up in a mess! to bad there arent any pre-made ones like that so it looks more smooth. and allows you to put a jewel on. very nice!
The future is not set. Theres no fate but that which we make for ourselves. Oon Consoleforumsin mysticy, PS2-Scenen MysTiCy ja Maxconsolen toad86.
Modailen PS2, Wii, Gamecube, Nintendo DS. Porissa. Asentelen jälleen FreeMCBootia :)

i would like to buy that yellow one from hushtrap
http://www.gamecubecase.com/index.htm but everywhere they sell the hushtrap cases they only have the normal ones and ice, never the yellow one
btw, you can buy nintendo jewels from nintendo.com for $2.00 USD
Did you just cut off the lid mounts from the orig case or make a new one?
If they are the origs, you might be able to make a latch system for the lid, but hey is the flip does it for you then right on man, looks good none-the-less.
The entire case (well, not the bottom part that the cube sits in) is custom made. The only part of the original top I used were the buttons. As a matter of fact, you can visit my newly created page that show some step by step progress of the build.
I was thinking of having a spring loaded door with latch and an open button, but in the end, it just would have taken a lot longer to do, and would have restricted how much finger space was avaialble. So I just went with a simple Flip-Top design.
I could probably still do a latch and spring loaded door later at some point with some modifications. But all in all, it works just fine as-is, and I probably won't bother.
