Cool way To Make Cases!
Moderator:Moderators
I've been working on this idea for quite some time now and it works!
You can make a case any size you want this way. Even do angles for a really cool case. You can get different sized channel aluminum at www.mcmastercarr.com

I think I'll stick to wood, as much as I'd love to get something a case made out of metal I dont like to cut my finger tips up on the sheet metal (or any sharp edge).

I don't know why the picures aren't working they were working last night. I guess when you have a free site, you get what you pay for.

A way i'v been doing portable cases is create the design on paper then cut the shape out on 2 pieces of plastic/plexi whatever u want.
then you have the board screwed down on the back piece of plastic and controls and screen on the top.
then you use the plastic tubes u buy for screws for the wall and put a nut and both through it.
Once you have all 2 pieces connected and all setup u get some styrine plastic and cut it as a strip and it will ben around the case easily and u glue it on
It looks great its a simpler design based on how ben made his VCS with the fake woodgrain
Its a lot easier and cheaper plus it actually looks as good as bens

Say what method is it that ben used on the NESp (smaller ones) where it looks to be made of several layers of plastic? It looks a lot simplier and possibly faster.
