Any of you guys have suggestions on making a laptop out of a slim ps2? Like what case, screen, power system to use?
Thanks.

P4-2.8ghz, 1gb RAM, 80gb+50gb HDD, ATI x1650, this is the PC i have to work with.

i guess nobody's interested, yet we can all agree the ps2 is a legendary system- and its still being bought in relatively large quantities today. why not have a portable one? come on people? anything, any advice?

I had the exact same idea and was about to try it with my old Toshiba satellite but had another clever idea and did that instead. But i gave it some thought and you would need a video converter and you would need to cut the laptop case to use the disk tray on the ps2

was the over clever idea worth doing? is it better then the laptop idea?

It was easy to do and it was a good idea i turned that laptop into a portable terminal for my main computer. But I must admit I liked the ps2 laptop better

for some reason i'm thinking a laptop that could emulate the ps2- has a lot more use to it too

its an idea, i know its possible. but that does require some sick hardware, a beast of a cpu and gpu- and you don't always get that on a laptop- so cost wise, still clinging to the slim ps2 and screen.

is there a way to hotwire component outs to vga(perhaps laptop screen wires?)

Maybe im not sure. And with replacing hardware I meant take a ps2 slim mob and put it in a laptop case

i still think the video connection would be a problem, especially if switching out the mobos- running two power cords to it is also kind of weird- perhaps in a way vga signals have to be similar to component (after all i think they are analog)
