Oh whoops I must have overlooked the fact that it was an Original, not a mini.

S'okay. I knew he did a mini, but when I measured the full-size, I just couldn't figure out how it was going to fit.

I can't help you on case as I'm making mine, and probably will be for a while now.

jrod899 - If you get a Retro Duo instead, you could always use my cases (see my PlayStation thread) when they become available for sale. From what I hear, the visual quality on a 5" PSone screen is the same using a Retro Duo or full sized board and the audio is very good (unlike NES). My case is also compact.

Happy to know im not the only noob out there asking for help. Okay i know im not the only one but, i guess ya know what i mean. Anyway, once youve done all the work and stuff. look at how your portable comes out. You can analyze the newly redesigned mobo and find out what would be the perfect case for it. Then, do some drawings, think it over, and then you could build it your self. I mean, if thats too hard than you could buy one and modify it. Thats probably how im going to deal with my case problems.

Here's some enclosure sites that allow you to search by dimension. Most, if not all, offer free samples.

Polycase
Pac-Tec
Box Enclosures
Serpac

Nicholas64 - My cases will take N64 boards. Making an N64 in my case after the PlayStation project, so you can see what you think.

Is like $10 but is good, look for the zn-40 series, if you know how to make it smaller then use the ag-43 series.

PS. If your using a nes then is harder to make the slot positioning because is not soldered to the board.
Seriously, quit trying to answer questions you don't know anything about. There is NO WAY a SNES is going to fit in a ZN-40.

at least im trying to help, not like you just post garbage and cant even help your self. instead of scratching your balls do something better

Wait, did you even read the thread? I helped.

And for the record, I don't have balls. Thank the gods, because that means I don't have to think with them.

Off topic here, but you get major kudos for that one, Tib. Good job!
