i powered an PS2 on just a single 90-100watt inverter as well as hooking up a surge protector to it and charged my phone at same time.

Id expect a lot can be done with 350 watts. just watch out, cause the bigger power ratings end up inducing lots of noise if you dont get a pure sine wave type inverter(not simulated sine wave there is a diference)

ok just googled both and the bulky PS2 uses around 78 watts and the xbox uses a max of 96 watts, so i should be good with some headroom. Thanks.

One last question, i need to paint the casing of this thing because the one i got is purple, is there a special high heat paint i need to use? I know people paint amps, so i would assume i need to use the same type of paint.

if you feel that you want to use a high heat paint, then the autoparts store has 500+ paint, 1200 if you want that

lol, i dont think i need that high, if it gets that hot i have other problems.

powder coat the bish

where would i find powder coat? And do i spray it just like regular paint? Sorry, kinda new to paints.

you have to have a charge gun and an oven to do this...you probably don't have or know how to use either

edit: to powdercoat

if you can remove the cover/sink, do so and spray a bonding agent on, then whatever cheap black paint you buy

ya i can remove it easily, bonding agent?

and will a cheap black spray paint hold up over time? Im pretty sure this thing gets fairly warm.

bonding agent will make any paint stick to anything almost
