I know my system has its limitations with a 16gb HD, so I am just not attempting to make all the ports available. I will just be running cables to the open spots on the existing SNES back panel. My mobo, which uses an external power brick, will just be attached in place of the SNES DC input. I'm gonna be cabling out the HDMI to the old A/V socket as well.
I haven't decided if I want any USB ports mounted, since I am thinking that I can just have the wireless receivers for the player 3 and 4 gamepads connected internally. I already have a wireless mouse receiver inside, and that is working pretty slick.
I am thinking I might also wire the audio input to the back of the SNES in case in case I run into any "video only" HDMI situations, and need to plug the audio in separately (like a to a computer monitor or TV with a unique home theater setup).

Thats a good idea to have audio out.

I would have a boner if this thing was hooked up to my TV. Just sayin.

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: I think that it might have that kind of effect on people. I brought the machine over to a friend's house for play testing. He told me he wanted some "time alone" with the machine.
Let's just say I don't keep my video game goods out of my sight after that one incident where I lent my N64 controller with rumble pack to a friend, and got it back coated in a sticky substance. (true story) :puke

Oh, you can't let this story go! Did you confront your friend (hopefully, from a distance) in regards to the issue 'at hand'?
