ok i know it sounds crazy but i want to make a mobo for the handheld console im going to make :cool:

so i want to know how to make the mobo (motherboard) im gonna use a intel pentium 4 so where could i find one and the socket and all the connections and stuff :confused:

its going to have a few megabytes of ram ...about 256, 128 i dunno probaly more
and i gonna have to make a case now thats the weird part how.... wood nah
metal... cant bend... plastic cant :(

please tell me i could get some curcit boards
 
I really don't think this is possible and if it is it would be way to expensive to do not only that but you seem like you don't know a lot about this no offense of course.
 
Yeah I really don't think that that is such a good idea.. It'd be fun to do and to show off. But the work involved is tremendous and very expensive. If you don't have the set up for it, (lab and all supplies and what not) it will take you quite a while..

A handheld console with a P4 inside it? The power consumption would be more than a small PSP battery could handle, and you'd have to get a heatsink and fan. And you wouldn't have proper ventilation in it.. And it would be quite hard to find all the parts for the sockets and what not.. It wouldn't be handheld for sure :)

1. Lets hope you have a degree in electronics engineering.
2. You need a chipset that supports the cpu
3. You would need to basically design an entire motherboard, which to the general population is impossible.

Exactly you would be better off buying a pre-made one plus it would work a lot better.

For what you are wanting to do you will have to carry a back pack with a car battery inside lol.

We're not trying to be mean or anything. It's a very creative idea. But in reality it's impossible.

If your looking for something small for a project, take a look at the nvidia ION based boards with a 9400M GS and dual core atom packed into a mini-itx form factor.
 
itx eh

ok il see some itx but i need no dual core to good thats only for my my laptop i need some old intel 386 or 486 um can i ask you whaere i could get one itx board
 
no forget a hand held i cant find any mobo that will be so small, so i found some laptop mobos that i think will do the job
