Ok, im going to need some help here. I'm trying to decide what case idea to go with, I am at a crucial part of my design right now. Keep in mind, not drawn to scale, took me about 1 minute in paint to do these both, but you will get the idea....

This one I like because its going to be more uniform, but also harder to make the front panel. Im using polystyrene for the front, so it will be smooth.

i like this one, because it is easier, and it gives me more room to place heatsinks and fans.

Could you guys help me decide, by providing pros and cons for both of these. I have to wait on my SCSI headers to get in b4 i start back up on it, so i have about 2 days to figure this out.
Thanks

put the catridge slot on the back of the n64 mobo with the batteries

put the screen elevated over the front of the mobo itll be smaller that way

you could draw air through the handheld going from top to bottom not back to front

If it is possible, make the game catridge load from the top of the unit. I recomend this mostly because most handheld I see load games from the top, not the bottem. I can't think of any reason why they work the way though :oops:
nope... can't think of anything I could possibly want to put in my Signature Block...
