Alright well I just got a hold of a heavy duty road AA certified road case from the theater that I work at because, well, I wanted to make a PS3 case. I brought it home and it's a PERFECT size. The PS3 fits into the foam that's in there just right. Here are some pics of it right now.

I still need to get more foam though to fit to the wood part of the case and then to hold everything else. Here's what all I want to fit in there

1 PS3
1 Component cable
1 Composite cable
1 HDMI cable
1 Optical cable
1 Power cable
4 10ft USB cables
1 PS2-PS3 memory card adapter
4 PS2-PS3 controller adapters
6 sixaxis controllers
1 Bluetooth remote
1 Bluetooth headset
2 Metal CD cases (one for games, one for movies)

So yeah that's the plan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Any one have any suggestions or comments? What should I paint the case so that it looks awesome but doesn't tell anyone what's in side to prevent theft lol...

UPDATE:
Alright well I just wanted to tell people the plan. Here's what the case looks like with my PS3 and 2 controllers inside. Obviously I still need to get the foam but you can see how perfect this case really is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

secondly here's what the layout will be. It's no where near the right proportions but you get the basic idea.

1=PS3
2=Controllers
3=Remote
4=Cables
When I made this I forgot about the bluetooth headset but that's going to go on the same side as the remote.

Ah, hoping you were *making* a custom PS3 plastic case, not a storage...thing, either way good luck, wanna put some vents or something on that? Or are ya just gonna take it out when playing?

Lol yeah I thought about the title *after* I made the topic... but It's just a traveling case so I'll take it out when I use it.

I was geeked up for a second, but I read what it really was. LOL! A carrying case? That's still cool though. I thought you was finna make a custom PS3 case.

Elusid · « **Reply #7 on:** February 14, 2007, 06:33:00 PM »

Lol yeah I know I can't edit the title now... Well any ways just a quick update

I've got all the stickers off and I took off the metal pate that was the case makers logo and stuff so now it's one smooth case. I just need to bondo up the holes, sand the outside, and paint it then at least the outside part of its done.

Thanks =D Ok well just an update. I just bondoed the holes made by taking off that metal plate and I need to sand them now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am still looking for foam to use but I'm not in a huge rush. I would like to get it by the end of next week though...

Infamous Ob · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2007, 06:10:00 PM »

A Elusid, What color you goin' for? Flat Black on Flat Black would make it low-key, so you can hide it in the shadows under yo bed. What you think?

Elusid · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2007, 11:39:00 PM »

I might do that actually =D or at least do flat black and some design in it.

I need to polish the metal now and get the primer that spraid over on to it off and then come up with what I want on the front. I was thinking of the same lettering as on the PS3 saying PLAYSTATION then bellow that the PLAY B3YOND text.
