Mobile Gaming Case for PS4, PS3 and XBOX

[@Kinger1316]

This is really nice. I wanted to do this exact same thing, I just didn't know what kind of case I should use. You just gave me a good starting point. I may carve a few holes in the back to add blue glowing fans or something just for looks. Seems like there is a lot of room in that case, the possibilities are endless!

[@SeeHearBeSilent]

that is beautiful my man; what craftsmanship! I will most certainly be creating my own based on your design. great post

[@yeethawt9160]

I like this setup a lot because of the simplicity but also there is a lot of space for storage. I looked at other peoples build and it was much more complicated. They're all still cool though.

[@Wavyink]

To anyone thinking of building one of these, I recommend gluing the connections on your monitor before bolting to your case, I also installed lid supports onto mine for angle adjustment.

[@anugaasideas5469]

J Back thats good idea, where did you get parts?

[@Srimmy]

bad English no way! you did a great job man. I have a gaems case but I like your idea better

[@anugaasideas5469]

thank you for your encouragement!

[@mymicks21]

This seems kickass, all of it together will cost less than a GAEMS case, but the plastic will be stronger, the screen is bigger and higher definition, and you only need one outlet to use it.

[@adamp5742]

Nice work, Im gonna make somthing similar with playstation classic and nindendo wii for some retro gaming

[@earthmatter2088]

Hi, thats pretty cool, I want to make same box also. Can you tell me the box lid inside dimensions please. specially how deep is it. I have old TV which is pretty thick want to make sure if it will fit inside.

[@anugaasideas5469]

+Earth Matter Hi, I hope it is not so late for the response. The measure is as follows Width : 19.5" Height : 13" Deep : 2" I would suggest to use thin TV as the old tv may have enough weight to damage the hinge. Also if you use heavy TV you need to add extra weight in the console compartment to make the case stand still. otherwise it fall back easily.

[@boostedadrenaline2884]

+Anugaas Ideas you got seiki TV so have I!! this Video changed my life 😁

[@honestinsincerity2270]

Nice job but I'm going to respectfully disagree that that case has the same quality of a pelican case. Pelican cases are molded of nearly 3/8 inch thick polypropylene with a lotta engineering into the stress points and corners. They are completely water and dust proof (up to a significant depth). Whereas the knock offs from harbor freight and other hardware stores that cost less are often made of cheap, thin and brittle ABS with no reinforcement anywhere. And I seriously doubt any of them are water proof (splash proof MAYBE). There's a reason pelican cases cost what they do and are used in various industries and the military as the gold standard for outdoor cases.

[@ejames9696]

Great work! Great video, I'm referencing it to make one for myself. I'm worried about drilling the holes through the lid, any tips to getting the holes straight, and getting the monitor nice and centered?

[@anugaasideas5469]

indeed thats hard part, if I do now I will do putting pointy screws in the vesa holes and push the TV down to the lid to make some drill hole marks.

[@ejames9696]

Anugaas Ideas Great idea, it worked out perfect! I had one more question, What size hole did you drill for that plastic cap to fit? The hole where the extension cord exits from.

[@anugaasideas5469]

@@ejames9696 Hi, I think it was 1" hole, but make sure to get right size cup first that you power cord plug can come out freely!

[@meckleboy]

Great job. I'm doing same build but my monitor is 19 3/4 and heavy as its a PC lcd. It's very heavy. I debating just building plywood box as I have materials on hand and won't have to spend too much $. Love the hidden cable design. How thick is tv? I have to over compensate for size on monitor. Can't find your case online. Where did you buy it? Even old suitcases are either too small or too big or not deep enough. Any advice?

[@anugaasideas5469]

Hi, Here is the TV compartment (lid) dimesion Width : 19.5" Height : 13" Deep : 2" I really suggest light TV or monitor , otherwise the lid tend to fall back away from you. Thats why I added some wieght (those wooden studs) to balance. the box I purchased from MCM here is the link www.mcmelectronics.com/product/MULTICOMP-22-24120-/22-24120 if you use flywood, it would be pretty heavy. Thank you,

[@linkinaruto23]

awsome thank you for the idea, you did a great job.

[@linkinaruto23]

wanted to ask. did you ever feel like the hinges my break over time? how sturdy was the hinges compared to the weight of the TV

[@anugaasideas5469]

+Juan Pasallo the hinge is very strong no worries on it. I am using it almost everyday since I built it. no issues at all.

[@MTGChicago]

+Juan Pasallo i agree. i would add on custom scissor hingles on the side so it takes weight off the back flap

[@anugaasideas5469]

I put 4 studs on each side inside the compartment which added extra weight. Not really necessary add hinge. trust me. :)

[@mymicks21]

Any idea how heavy this is? I was planning on making something just like this

[@jasonmashburn1280]

So I love how clean and neat evening came out, loved your idea so much I have already order the case so I can make me one. I have the 15" gaems case but it is thin plastic and the monitor blurs if you don't sit a certain way while playing. So my question I have is, do you have enough space underneath to put the Xbox one or Xbox 360 power brick on the power cord?

[@anugaasideas5469]

there is plenty of space, even you can put both xbox 360 and xbox one power bricks together.

[@jasonmashburn1280]

Anugaas Ideas thank you for the reply. Glad to know I'll have the room in the bottom now I can wait to get started making it!

[@theogmrbill1]

What is the exact measurements of the width of the tv? I can't find info online about it.

[@mathiaskastholt9341]

What kind of Polyester Foam is that? And do it scratch the screen? Do you maybe have a link for some foam you can use for the case :)?

[@anugaasideas5469]

Hi, those foams come with the case, simple ones, because foam cushion not in movement they will not scratch the screen!

[@scornillez]

awesome job! question: do you feel like a fan is necessary to keep the heat out? or is it open enough for the heat to dissipate?

[@anugaasideas5469]

no it is like open concept, no need any fan! I tried xbox one, px4, px3 all runs good.

[@itszepex4804]

NOICE this is actually my dads so yeeeee

[@jivdis1x]

wow, looks heavy.

[@reiki2165]

I like this build. It is simple, professional, semi low costing, spacious and has benefits such has being weatherproof/durable. I would say it is better than the Gaems portable console station that you can buy online from 200-300 bucks. The only issue with that is. . . if something breaks in there (especially the screen), it is VERY hard to get parts since it is not widely known or it is expensive to replace. If you don't mind, I would like to copy your design and do a couple modifications, and post the design on youtube. This has the potential to add a lot more features while using lighter weight materials like thinner base wood or metals, and slim models like a ps4 slim. I would also add some support structures that I could get from the dollar store like, L braces and add rubber padding's to put on both ends of the console, some sort of sliding support beams that prevents the top and lower case from being over opened, some how mount a plexy glass in front of TV screen, and eventually some miscellaneous things like adding a USB powered fan for either the user or to cool down the console.

[@michaelmunoz6640]

Reki did you ever make the modifications?

[@mopain3230]

How did you mount the TV?

[@dest151]

awesome

[@meckleboy]

Oh and what is overall weight when completed

[@yv3s68]

How do you have one power cable? Where is the power cable from the tv and the ps? I need ure help🙏🏻

[@anugaasideas5469]

Hi, the extension cord has 3 outlets in other end. something like this one www.amazon.com/Coleman-Cable-Extension-Outlets-20-Foot/dp/B00004SQHS?qid=1538414762&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A2798302011&s=Home+Improvement&sr=1-6&ref=sr_1_6

[@whynot1749]

You should put an "A" on top.

[@Travellife27]

can u carry this in international?

[@anugaasideas5469]

yes you can, the box is small enough you can take it as carry on.

[@ASHENGON]

How are you going to get your disc in and out with out removing the straps from the ps4

[@anugaasideas5469]

Hi, position the PS4 that the strap goes side by side not the blueray drive side, check the PS4 top light , so you can see how to position it.

[@melky8786]

how did u screw or mould the monitor into the lead part?

[@anugaasideas5469]

I just drilled 4 holes and screwed directly to the TV VESA holes, no need any mount! When you drilling make sure measure precisely!

[@JkidGamer21]

Where can I buy the tv/monitor? Like what is the exact model?

[@anugaasideas5469]

I got it from Sears.

[@Haydendr01]

Its a 20" Seiki TV. You can get it at Sears or Kmart for about $100

[@cykosyc]

would a 22in wide screen fit in that case?

[@anugaasideas5469]

cykosyc what is your tv dimension?

[@thepapillonwarrior1159]

Wait, so is the power source portable?!? What is it

[@anugaasideas5469]

it is portable to carry around but you still need power outlet to connect to

[@nikko5930]

What’s the dimensions of the top inside?

[@mathiaskastholt9341]

Do u have link for the materials?

[@anugaasideas5469]

Here is list of items and materials I used to build the case. MCM hard case , Model 22-24120 , SEIKI 20" TV Model SE20HS04, Velcro Strap 36" long 2" wide (sold with 2 pairs @ Home Depot) Plywood 11/32 in (around 10mm) , same size of the box, around 20inx15in 2x4 inch stud, for basement, Black paint, Track Bed Coating Flat head screws , 1.5" inches 8 pcs Tools : Saw, Drill, Sander, Osciliation tool

[@mathiaskastholt9341]

Anugaas Ideas how much would it be for you to make one for me, without the tv and ps4 :D? Just the complete setup of the case 😁

[@mathiaskastholt9341]

How much for You to make one ?

[@anugaasideas5469]

Mathias Kastholt I would charge 250 for labor!

[@xescdelarosa3328]

Would a ps4 pro fit?

[@anugaasideas5469]

without any problem!

[@nomad155]

Could you at least show how the tv was mounted?

[@anugaasideas5469]

Hi, TV is mounted by drilling hole into the lid and screwed to the VESA holes. Tv sit flat to the lid! It is shownon the build video!

[@smiley1998ish]

[@anugaasideas5469]

Hi Semanus , thank you for your interest, not really intended to sell it.

[@anugaasideas5469]

I have added a new video to support Audio extension cable on the TV, which will support both TV and headset modes, by simple toggling a switch. Here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpjUk2ucrq-ciNE
