Yeah, the four blue buttons are the winamp control. Like I said, it's a half-ass job but will be done better once I get another case.

The beige thingy is a PCICIA slot adapter for the PC. Works wonderfully!!! I use it for the wireless adapter I have for my laptop. When I am at work, I slide it in there, and boom...internet! Done for the day? No problem, pop it back into the laptop and good to go, more internet!!!

Speakers...I haven't figured that one out yet. Not sure how to connect the whole thing really or what I am connecting the speaker to. Also, another problem would be getting the speaker to get loud. That, and lastly, some sort of switch so when I plug in external speakers, it'll disable the internal one. Once unplugged (or switched) the internal speaker would activate again! Give me some info if you have on this.

Well, can i assume you are using a PSone screen? What you can do is get a headphone jack and wire it into the screen, that way whatever is being played on the computer can be played on the PSone screen. The PSone Screen should have 2 headphine jacks that you can remove and relocate into the faceplate somewhere. Since you are using the PSone for audio, it will reroute the audo from the speakers to the headphone jack when a jack is inserted.

spray paint the pcmia slots beige. Also, the super joy can fit inside a parralel port (or serial, I forget) but it has a female Dsub 9 connector on the controller, so sometime this weekend ill add some diodes. Do the diodes need to be any specific way?

I used the diagram on this site to make mine.

@bioniclebert - LOL...I noticed it too. Completely unintentional, fits perfectly in though!

@turbo - Thank you very much sir!!!

I made a hole for the sound and mounted in the speaker jack...unfortunatly, I have not tested it out yet. Time ran up and I had to leave work. =( Tomorrow I can finish up the rest getting this project over with once and for all!!! (Until I get the new case that is).
