Wooden NES

[jimlab7]

yes but how hard would it be to get the ouya to reconize it xD
now I did find some 256 gb flash drives but they are anything but cheap

Great stuff!
here's an idea: make the front (where you normally insert cartridges open), install a usb slot and make wooden cartridges with usb drives in them. Nerdiness galore!

Why not add in an extra fan or 2 while you are there, plenty of room for it and it certainly isn't going to harm it.

I was thinking that im going to get a better fan but can the ouya handle 2 fan at the same time? plus usb hhd and any remotes

Ok update: After some fun sanding (coughs dust) I got it close to what I wanted



Here is how much venting is in it so far. I'm thinking about cutting vents on the bottom so you cant see the vents
and use some lil rubber feet at the bottom to give it some lift so air can flow through it.
I bought a splatter screen thats used for cooking but makes a great screen for the vents on the inside.


I also bought a cheap $1 aluminum roaster pan to line the bottom. It's thicker then the foil but thinner
then flashing.. and cheaper.
Idk if I should do to top part as well still no work about if it will block my wireless what do u guys think?
You may also notice i glued the top on and cut in half i wanted it more like the Orignal NES also will make
it easyer for screwing it together l8er.



I also added cork rubber for the MB to sit on idk if I needed it but would rather have it and not need
then need and not have it. And this is the Ouya sitting in it so far going smooth but I will really
need help if I end up soldering a USB hub to the system and maybe even a 2nd fan.



Thanks for looking and thanks to all who have gave my advise so far and those who will be.

It should be fine to run more than one fan, Most fans use very little voltage.

ok kool how about soldering in a usb hub to the ouya?

I want to add 2 usb to front were the controllers would be on a nes one inside to power the 2 fan and the last at the back

Well others have done it with success, So i dont see why it would be a problem.

Ok i glued a "flashing" to the top and added my dust screen and cut some vent in the back corner were a fan is going to be



I added a few plastic tabs to hold the MB in place



cut out all the connection for the side so I could play it in the case and test



this is the vent holes in the bottom were the soon to be fan will go
also got the screw hold roughed in




thats all so far will update when i get more done
