Some of you may remember the Blube - my blue gamecube.
After an aborted attampt to do something with bamboo (the less said about that the better!), I'm going to respray another.
I'm in 2 minds about how to do it at the moment though. At first I was going to put a black stripe across the lid and down the front, and spray the front grey bit black. Maybe do one of the vents black too.
Then at the diy store I was looking at the paints, and a nice brown went pretty well with purple. Maybe just do the grey bits in brown.
Or I could go for a combination of the two.
*Ponders*

That white and black looks sweet! One thing I was wondering, is it possible to use the Cube shell as a midi-case, and get one of those mini-mobo's? Would be awesome! And you can pick the cases up (with the gamecube) for a reasonable price...

What news?
Heh, I think I remember that one.
Decisions, decisions...
If I went for white with purple stripes I could leave the buttons as they are.
Or I could just take a little of the plastic off the inside of the button 'tube'.
The modchips look like they have potential, loading a bios onto the cube. If you could rig it up to a HDD (perhaps with a SD card adaptor) I wonder if you'd be able to fudge an OS into it.
It's almost tempting to try, it'd just be expensive and I don't know enough about that side of things.
But then again, maybe if the bios would allow you to accessa data cd, and load from that onto the drive for the sd card... Then on startup you could use the bios to initiate the operating system you'd put onto the SD card... And if the OS would allow you to treat the SD card as your basic HDD, and read data disks without problems...
Assuming the bios would accept one of those cube keyboards....
You could potentially run it as a pc. Maybe.
That'd be the height of achievement - getting minesweeper to run on a gamecube!
However, I'd have to buy:
A mod chip
Soldering gear
GC keyboard
SD card adaptor
Massive SD card (a gig at least really)
Possibly a dvd burner (I think you have to modify the lens to read cdrs)
Get hold of an old operating system that could run on a machine of the cube's capabilities.
It's a beautiful dream, but I don't see it happening.
If everything was completely white, that could be good. The grey thing too.
I think I will do the led this time, last time round buying the bits seemed like too much hassle, but I was new to the job and had already bought a few odds and ends.

What's the website where you can buy all kinds of different coloured consoles and iPods and stuff? I can't find in anywhere.
Oh, ok. I still have my SNES, somewhere...

Well kind of, it's a smaller gayer looking SNES.

Lol. Listening to Hysteria by Muse when I read this. The chorus bit too.
