Show Us Your MiSTers

[Bas]

It's beautiful jawler, but don't you have thermal issues? The fan has nowhere to exhaust to, or am I seeing things wrong?

[jca]

I guess you need some glasses. Have a better look.

Hello! here is my mister case

I'm really proud to fit everything inside this enclosure:

That looks really great! Well done!

What power button are you using? I like it a lot.

You can find it here:

I have no thermal problems. It has air holes in both sides and the rear fan extracts hot air from inside.

Here is what a MiSTer from a galaxy far, far away might look like...

@mrkai those look amazing, love the worn industrial design.

Want.

Got a new case with a custom ioboard/usb combo from taobao (saw it on the Mister Facebook group). They have various colour variants and even an aluminum design.
Very nice and slim design. They replaced the vga port with a sega Saturn one. Which is okay. But I think I would prefer the vga one. I added/fiddled a usbc port for power which cracked a bit of the plastic. Nothing superglue can't fix.

Now there have a new version of this,it has type-c power supply and a power switch

Im considering getting one of these, any issues youve come across so far?

Cant make my mind up weather to get the SS or VGA version, the SS one would offer an all in one cable for the Video and Audio which is a plus, what advantages is there going the VGA over SS??

"Per the rules" it's not "LucasSpace" unless it looks like someone has been using it. I've made a few of these for myself and others, lol, where there is the *super niche* intersection of MiSTer, Star Wars, and wanting a "prop-like" MiSTer case

The used look was a great idea in Star Wars, sorely missing on my Sphero R2D2. Also the trick to get computer graphics to look realistic.
With so many Star Wars fans there are bound to be a good amount that have a MiSTer (now we need a Star Wars arcade core) and the prop style case certainly is an eye catcher.

3D Printed case, Not the final colour, and a few more tweeks to add (internal sata bay for HDD, vga and audio out), but works for me nicely at the moment, can post OpenSCAD files if anyone wants them and try to remember the BOM.... )

[Reg]

@JellyBaby - please do post those files if you are willing to share - excellent build there.

[teddy1983]

Hello,

what is this system to display on a mini screen "super nintendo" how does it work Please

[Jellybelly]

Have a look here....

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1887

Edit : Sorry Bad link

[Jellybelly]

@JellyBaby - please do post those files if you are willing to share - excellent build there.

Here you go..... Please Note :

Need build plate of 250 X 210 (Done on Prusa MK3S), Could be split into small parts, but not currently designed for that... (Added to list of things to do )

This is WIP and print at your own risk (But results posted above) plus I do want to add the features listed, not not high on my list currently apart from Drive bay that I will be working on over the next few weeks / months (Lots on at the moment and enjoying all the great core releases from the guys out there), but this will not change the outer shell (Top or Bottom) Idea is to mount over the USB board, fit and forget), VGA and Audio will change the Top Shell at a later date (Or may expand the size of the "Back Filler" so these can be optional.... )

No BOM available at the moment (But will pull one together for the brass inserts, USB breakout boards, HDMI lead, M3 Cap Head sizes etc...)... Again just down to time to pull it together

And at some point stick them on Git.....

Enjoy

[Reg]

Brilliant - thank you sir.

There's a good amount of 3d printed parts for MiSTer FPGA on thingiverse, you should post it there too.

My Console Style - Mister Case (WIP)

Any feedback would be appreciated

[currymetaloxide]

After a brilliant headsup from reddit user kester76a who suggested it reminded him of a USRobitics Modem.

I have modified the model a little to reflect it now.

[venice]

...you need some leds in the front

Was just thinking damn where have i seen that shape/case design before

[currymetaloxide]

Thats a good idea. Think i'll copy the light arrangement from the USRobotics Courier modem .

Use a microcontroller to simulate the led behavior

FANTASTIC! Where did you buy the case?

[jawler]

I bought it in Aliexpress. I sent all the component measures and they made the cuts.

Can you provide us the link to the case and the parts used for your build? That case is AWESOME!!

My attempt to integrate into NESPi 4 case. Featuring 2.5" USB drive as a cute removable mini NES cartridge (2TB HDD in my case).
I've added one more hole on the back for full-sized HDMI. Two micro-HDMI holes now hold buttons (USER and OSD). Ethernet and front buttons/connectors are working.
Includes WiFi+BT dongle inside.
There are 2 fans. Original (visible on photo) extracts the hot air to outside. Another one 40mm with small heatsink is under the board. Both fans are quiet and barely hearable.

The only feature i didn't make yet is SD card extension to case's SD slot. I plan to add it later as it's not important because i rarely need to remove SD card.

[bazza_12]

oOo i like the idea of the removeable hard drive on a cartridge..

[lamarax]

Yeah, a 'NAND slot' of sorts would be great and that would shut some mouths.

Edit: I should make clear, that only Sorg could make that a reality. Everything else that circulates, doesn't take notice of, or integrate the MiSTer framework we all are familiar with; cores won't function as expected, and people should know/be ready to deal with the implications.
