[papichulo]

Hii everybody,

Just got rid of my old tv in my astro and installed a 16" led and wii...i have a few pictures and thought ide share them with yif you have any questions...im here...english is my second language so excuse my grammar.

Things i used..and dont laugh..hehe

- kitchen knifes.
- scissors
- screwdriver
- spray on adhesive
- Black piece of upholesry
- 4 brackets that used from the old tv - it was a perfect fit after bending them a little bit.
- 600 watts power inverter for the wii.

hope u like the pictures )

Doesn't the WII use low voltage? Seems to me it would be easier to convert to that from 12v than to use an inverter. And 600 watts is way more than you'll need just for the WII. Don't get me wrong, an inverter is a real handy thing to have. I have a 750 watt in my Astro.

convert the wii to a 12v? i dont know how to do that...ill research it...it will be alot better as im only using the inverter for the wii.

Thanks

I don't know specifically about the WII, but most video games use a wall transformer type power cord that drop the voltage from 120 volts down to usually less than 12 volts. So, if the WII is like this, what you're doing is bumping the voltage up from 12 volts with the inverter, to drop it back down to low voltage with the WII power cord. And the inverter draws way more current (amps) than a WII could ever draw.

Where did you get the TV at?

Very luxurious interior. Yes you are doing really uneeded electrical acrobatics with the electrical. The motor makes AC, the converts to DC, then you invert to AC higher voltage, but the game uses DC low voltage so you are jacking it up just for the transformer to bleed off heat and energy to lower it.

What does the adapter that feeds the game have on it for "output". You can cut out the middle man and convert DC12V straight to that level.

Not sure about the tv though.

Awesome looking interior though.
