I can't post pictures right now since my camera broke, but if you look at the pictures of eveyone elses work, just design a case from that because almost everyones guts are the same.
I have:
relocated cart slot
hooked up 3.3v regulator
wired most of controller
and all the other basic stuff

Well you're welcome for that one. If you told us what you wanted, we might be able to help you. Also, don't just expect people to do your work for you.

It doesn't matter what design you come up wth. You'll be limeted by your guts.

1 design
2 guts
3 design again
(repeat step 2-3 as necesaary)
4 case

I would help if you gave me an idea of what you you want. I can't just design something and hope your N64p would fit in it. Also, does anyone know a simple way to post pics (well any way would work) I would love to be able to help people by posting pics but I have no idea on how to do it

Rectangular may be boring, but it's the best way to get the most out of your space. It's simple geometry. Look at a 1" by 1" triangle. It might look more interesting than a square of the same size, but that square has an area 2 times larger than that triangle. Chances are, wherever you're storing the triangle is going to be more of a rectangle anyway (backpack, pocket, ect.), so, why not just fill out the rest of the space and make it a rectangle? Your guts are also rectangular, so unless you put your guts in a rectangular area, your probably going to end up wasting space and making your portable bigger than it has to be. That's the way I always look at it... does that make ANY sense to ANYONE?

Yup

As for posting pictures, use photobucket.com. They give you links to use and everything. It's my fave.

More importantly, a case is pretty much 100% determined by your personal taste and the exact proportions of your portable's guts. How could we design one for you aside from just giving suggestions?

It strikes me as especially odd that you wanted something unique, but then asked others to design for you. Who better to design a unique case for you than... you?
