Judging by the pic, (compared to the size of the controller) I estimate that it looks like about 34cms x 16cms roughly? It is large, and as I posted on this in AcidMods, the case is likely to have too much give, especially when the screen hole is cut out and the plastic is weakened - the case front has to be entirely rigid. It can be reinforced though with some backing perspex.

Not been much work done on this for a while, presumably you will finish it soon??

Anyway, welcome to this forum.

I know you're already pretty far into this, but you know you could have easily made the case a lot smaller right. You're even using a Mini Snes for christs sakes.. Could even have made the Snes's shell the case, and it still would have been smaller.

That being said, good work so far.

Indeed, much smaller even with a full sized SNES mobo, let alone a smaller board. Thinner too, and less wide; and sturdier...
