Thanks, I know, I took this one apart, it was too bulky and heavy, it had a fat ps3 and a kinda heavy hd screen, I smashed my fingers and hit my forehead with it many times, I made an smaller one with an slim Ps3 and a Smaller hd screen, I'm still not done with it but I can play games with it, if I ever do another one I will try to make it as small as possible to be able to take it anywhere and play it anywhere, kinda like the size of a 15 inch laptop

Like what you have done here, slightly crude looking but does the trick none the less : D, Cool the way the screen fits in perfect. I also notice that you have put a fan mod on the top of the PS3 I was tempted in doing this. Have a look at mine! http://www.instructables.com/id/Portable-Playstation-3/step5/Ok-the-finished-article/

Thanks for the comment, yea it's kinda crude looking, but that was my plan, I wanted it to look more like a mod than something factory made,yea the tv fits almost perfect but not, I had to cut part of the sides to make it fit, it also has one fan on the bottom, this ps3 portable weights about 20-30 pounds, I'm gonna make another less heavy and with no holes on the case at all
