I might have to spray paint it at some point :lol:

I like where this is going. Maybe a cleaner cut under the lid?
Might be able to use some of the parts from this kit to clean up the IO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eOFiuv2PGQ

There was another version from a different maker which was legit. I'll share if i can find it.

That is fantastic! I love the colors of the keyboard. Is that an Amiga 3000 style housing? Awesome that you have the MT32-pi and OLED TTY built in and the buttons with the colored LEDs look great as well.

Do you have a link to the USB cable you used on your MT32pi? What is that other cable connected on the top of it? Looks like it’s on the pi?

Not by it at the moment, but that I believe is the cable for the TTGO T8 V1.7.1 that I attached for "cable management" !

I don't have a link for that cable I'm afraid, it was one that was kicking around that was a suitable length.

Made a couple of MiSTer builds with Arcade1Up cabinets I found on sale:
20210531_215623.jpg
Biggest surprise was that the stock LCD is actually quite responsive (about 1/2 frame when compared to a PVM) so I went for a full mod with good quality parts (DeamonBites, Cherry switches, Sanwa sticks, etc). It's a great feeling to play on them! Now maybe one day I'll have room for an Astro City or an Egret...

My first attempt at a custom MiSTer case. I integrated the SNAC adapter with NES controller port since that is the only light gun I use and have nostalgia for. I had to do a lot of drilling of small holes and filing to get the ports right. It's not perfect, but not bad for my first attempt.

It helps to have a hole punch or awl to mark the center of your holes, a drill press and a clamp to keep things steady, and some small metal files to get the openings precise. Also, it really helped having an aluminum case that was easy to file.

If you have an sensitive surface use painter tape to keep it safe.
Make sure your drillers are not broken and sharp.
Drill small (not too small) and file it bigger.
And measure, measure, measure :mrgreen:

Do you think you're getting proper airflow without any vents on the top portion of the case?

There are vents on both sides that seem to allow good airflow. It's been working well so far.

A friend of mine saw my little PC-Engine themed MiSTer, and mentioned how he used to love Genesis games. I decided to build him one with a Genesis theme.

These are my current work in progress MiSTer “cases”.

Still have to finish the layout of the Ms. Pac-Man control panel and make the light up marquees. All controls have been updated with proper Sanwa/Happ parts. iPac 2 and Spinner are from Ultimarc. A proper 4 way joystick for Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong makes a world of difference. The led buttons are set up to be lit at all times rather than to show disk access. They are used for OSD and soft reset/bypass buttons in control setup.

After having just the DE10/HDMI setup for about a year, I took the plunge & got the full setup.

I really wanted that 90's look so the acid green acrylic case from misterfpga.co.uk did the trick for me!
