Yeah, I just got the two pieces I need for my pSNES plus a couple "practice" pieces for $10 from a trophy shop.

I actually just found a trophy shop willing to sell me some yesterday afternoon. He's selling me both sizes that I need for about $10. The plastic is blue and white, which has nothing to do with Nintendo colors, but it was all he had in stock and it sounds pretty anyway.

So, at this point, it sounds as though my best bet is the hand-built project since I can make it bigger or smaller if ...

Well I have the money right now for a kit.. I'm more interested in the hand-built kit, because of the larger screen, but if the CNC kit is easier then by all means that's what I'm going with. It would be nice to add my own personal flair, but I'm entirely too new at this to feel comfortable doing ...

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I did a search and couldn't quite find what I was looking for.
