[JonR]

that's great. I always end up leaving my box on when I fall asleep (pass out drunk is more like it)

[SupraWes]

Thanks for all the GREAT photos of this mod!!! It makes it real easy to follow along.

[grosser Vati]

what would life be like without my couch?

you must do the PS2 next!

[RedXray]

So thats why you were looking for the small IR remote unit.
Nice mod Yosh, and the Hockey stick was pretty funny also.

[kevrwag]

Good job Yoshi. Loved the mod. Great Idea

[[GF]Burke]

Nice man.

Very clean

[TSSFAN7]

Looks great, I can't see any difference between the 2. Can't wait for what you're bringing out next.

The system is being built without any fans at all, of course, it is water cooled. I am usind 3/8" vinyl tubing with about 8 water blocks. I am incorperating 2 water pumps so that if one seizes up in the middle of the night it will continue to run without overheating. Though this not a conventional water cooled system, instead of using a radiator with fans to cool the, antifreeze in this case, I am designing a resovoir that I will install into the freezer compartment of a mini-fridge/freezer. Each ounce of antifreeze will sit in the freezer for aproximately 40 minutes, cooling to below 30 degrees farenheight, hopefully, then be recirculated through the system. I am also going to use pretty much every computer mod you did, Yoshi.

I any of you might have any suggestions I would be glad to take 'em.

Saw the show Yoshi, Nice work, Think you can do that with any console? I would love to do that with my Dreamcast.

[imported_Yoshi]

Start a thread and post pics as you are making it.
I think wed all like to see that.

[mmm linux]

yoshi you are the master of the couch!!!! :lol:

[LAMA]

I like that idea of the antifreeze, I just dont know how hard that would be to get it to sit in there for 30 min. and no longer.

[BigZ]

Having trouble finding where to buy those Vellman parts, could you direct me to a an online seller of those 2 models?

[merritt]

tthat y-box thingy isnt happinin, he is so full of sh*t that his eyes are brownish green. btw, great work on all your mods yoshi.

[Treker4747]

I've a question on this project.

On your apperance on "X Play" you said you had a way to do it with the standard wired controller.

Where are these instructions at? And is there a better version of the wireless instructions? The link to the G4TechTV site goes to instructions that are, well... hard to understand, especialy since the pictures don't seem to be there correctly!

Thanks.

[robert]

well,thatsd cool.but you still have to get up to put in the game unless you have a harddrive with all your games

[DaFish10]

most people here have there games backed up anyway.

[linlin]

Indeed ;)
