ReddMcKnight's FC Twin Modding Project [DONE! See 1st Post!]

Post by ReddMcKnight »

OK, here's the deal. I recently got a crazy (but cool, I think) Idea...to modify an FC Twin, to make it look different, and add a new Function too it. Thanks too advice from jeffro11 and Niode, I think this should be fairly easy. (or a living nightmare. Heh.) I will be painting the system Red, and the Reset Button and Power Switch Black, and Blue and Purple LEDs will be added by a still unknown third party. (Probably my Dad.) SnowKitty will be adding a 50/60hz Switch to it. I plan to start this project tomorrow, but it may be delayed, as I am in the process of moving to a new house right now. Hopefully, everything goes well. Comments? Ideas? Post them here.

EDIT: If you'd like to talk to me directly about this, come to Racketboy's IRC Chat. I'm in there most of the time under the name "Redd".

It's finally finished!!
Look below to see the pictures!

Sounds cool!

But I think you should add some random awesomeness to it. So, heres what I think;
1. Install a fan to keep you cool while gaming! You wouldn't want yourself to overheat when gaming!
2. Install a mug warmer on the side so that your coffee, tea or coco doesn't go all cold on you while your in battle with some epic boss!
3. Install a button that plays "thunderstruck" when pressed, to prepare yourself for battle!
4. Install penholder so that you can keep track of your pens even when you play!

This, very much, this. Add some of those powered slippers to it too! Then you can keep your feet warm while you play!

Just add a USB port since someone else has done the hard work for you.

Fantastic!

He could also get some car batteries to hook it into for awesome portable on the go action!
A Rambo packpack would be the perfect holding device for carrying it around! Then he can walk around in those warming slippers, keeping his drink warm on the mug warmer, keeping his head cool with the fan, keeping track of his pens, listening to "thunderstruck" and enjoying a nice game on the 32 HD CRT, all while taking a sunday stroll in the park!

And then he could use the pallet jack to sit on if all the benches are taken!

The ultimate gaming system for comfortable, portable on the go action!

Needs a DVD rewinder too, nothing makes me angrier than all the DVD rewind fees because the last person who watched forgot to rewind it:
