Arr, I know not of any sites, but I am extremely interested. Now that all the warranties on my consoles are out, I'm extremely willing to put the all into a case, especially my Xbox.

I can just see it, a clear acrylic case with green CCs, an Xbox applique on the side, and the jewel off of the Xbox on the bottom of the front. 20 gig HDD, a 16x DVD-ROM, and some sort of mod-chip and I'm good to go. I'm so tired of not being able to put all of my burned mp3s onto the Xbox HDD to listen to while playing Halo.

BTW, last time I was at Radio-Shack I saw some PS2-to-USB adapters to play emulators on your computer... not sure how much it helps, but apparently most consoles older than the PSOne have controller ports based on USB technology.

yea i was checking out some sites at work wensday (shhh) and found one guy who did it. He had a dual video out Geforece 3 and he soldered in the video output from the PS right onto the vid card. then he had a switch on his monitor so he could flicker between the comp display and the PS display. Im going to use the regular conrollers and mem cards, im just going to mod one of my 5.5 inch bays to have the ports there. Ill keep you posted and try to get some pics up soon, seems how ill start working on it sometime this next week
