N64p cases are creative, i think, so anyway if you have a ng4p and you want to show it off do it hre, even though you could put it on pod you can post the almost done or cocepts here, why dont we make this into a contest while i'm at it!

If I make an N64p, I'm probably going to have a project box in the middle with a hacked up controller on either side, like Samuelm's.

I'm just using a project box from Radioshack, and I've got it vertical style like the original GameBoy's.

I plan to put the screen and controls in the bottom of the n64 case.

I thought about using the N64 case for about 3 minutes, 2 of those minutes were full of "the case is too wavey, no place to put anything, so uncomfortable".

Why does no one use wood?? Im making a ps1p, and soon i will start my 64p. So far the wood case has worked great for me. I mounted the controler on the top, and covered it with 1mm thick wood. Im gonna varnish it all too. Everyones using plastic or metal, and although they do look good if well cut, some dont look all that great.

That's why.

Show some pictures of your work.

I'm thinking about hollowing out a book. You know, hollow out cavities for the important parts and channels for the wires. I could play Sonic whenever I want in school without getting caught!

Already have an old Steven King novel I hate, maybe make a GBC case for it...

Don't you dare! Put that one on a shelve and treasure it! May I ask which book?

lol! But really that wouldn't happen even if the heatsink touched the wood There's just not enough heat to set off the wood.

I've used a 7"x5" project box for a case, and the original N64 case. The N64 case works great if you have a good design.

I think a cool case would be to make one with one of those cheap fiberglass patch kits. I wonder if it would be hard to drill and cut....
