BakerMan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Or what about your own custom shell? Don't worry I'm not spamming you. Just showin ya what I'd do to give my own custom system it's own look... https://www.facebook.com/Customnesguy/ Your project is awesome and is exactly how I'd like to go about with my own custom builds. Thanks for the inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
