NESp case idea

[Steve-o]

Do you guys think this idea would work? I was thinking maybe get a thick book, you know a hardback one, and carving out the case in it's pages. I would then put holes in the cover for screen/controls. So then when its done it would be just like a book that you could put on the shelf and stuff. I thought that it would be really neat, except I also thought it could be a fire hazard. What do you guys think?

heh, nice idea . it'd probably be best to line the edges with plastic or something, to make it more stable. it'd be kind of hard, but it could probably work .

[Steve-o]

yea thatd proabably be a good idea

it would prolly be easier to use something else, like a project box/modem box/cigar box, but that wouldn't be as cool as a book.

Plus, when you're sitting in English class 'reading' a cigar box, the teacher becomes a bit suspicious.

You should do that with Ben's book. Its not hardcover so it would be tougher, but it would be awesome. A portable video game made out of a book about portable video games.

You could save yourslef some trouble and get one of those wall safes that look like books. That would be veddy, veddy cool.

sorry for bringin up the topic again, but i got some pics of the front and rear plate, and i needed to no the demesions of the spone screen buttons, the nes a and b buttons, the screen, and the d pad. sorry if this is to much to ask at once, but i have to be sure if i have enough cut out. the case so far is all hand made, except a jigsaw and drill.

pretty god looking but sand it and make your edges even, you will be much happier with a better looking product
