Your project is awesome and is exactly how I'd like to go about with my own custom builds. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!  Here is a quick look at how this NES R2-D2 will look like:

 

So there are two LED displays that blink randomly.  On the back, Ill be using copper braided hoses.  The blue and white squares/rectangles will be acrylic.  On front is a volume knob to help tone down the R2-D2 sounds (it can be really loud at max volume) For the power light....i decided to keep the original square hole as is.  The light is a bicolor led that alternates between red / blue to indicate power on and pi activity.  I also converted the controller ports to usb ports.  So far, I have been pleased how everything is turning out.

 

JB, thank you for your suggestions.  Ill be using an original broken Star Wars NES game shell to place the USB inside.  I did see CustomNESGuy's work....he does indeed do a fantastic job with his painting.  Im still debating on trying my hand at painting using some Duplicolor auto paint and Spraymax 2K clear coat or using his services
