    So I wanted an NES Classic like so many millions of other people
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017*

So I wanted an NES Classic like so many millions of other people. I searched and searched since the lunch date and was never able to find one at retail. I did the rounds at every local target game stop and BestBuy stores, several times a week. I even tried my luck at the Walmart lottery and was very close to scoring one a few times. When all that failed I stared watching EBay and Craigslist in the hopes that prices would drop as the hype diminished and stock grew.  Then the news came out that Nintendo was no longer making the NES Classic. The prices went from $150 / $200 all the way up to $350 / $400 even $500 for some. I knew at that point I would never own an NES Classic. I was sad, disappointed and over all very furious, but I was determined not to let this bring me down.I already had a Raspberry PI 3 running RetroPI, (For those that don’t know what this is, basically it’s a small computer running an operating system that has pre-installed emulators for pretty much any console or arcade game ever made, and all you need to do is add the roms for each game). If you do a google search you will get more than enough tutorial and YouTube videos on how to set one up and where to get the needed parts.My RetroPI worked great and was lots of fun, but it didn’t have that polished looked of the NES Classic. Even with just a basic PI case it still was lacking the right look I wanted. I found some skins you could add to a regular PI case to make it look like an NES. They look good from what I saw online but this still was not that finished look I was going for.I started looking at 3D printed cases for the PI that had the NES look. I found a lot of good options, but still not exactly what I wanted. Then that is when I found the Old Skool NES case for Raspberry Pi. This had the look I wanted and I like how the game drawer opens up to gain access to the USB ports. The price was a bit cheaper then most 3D printed cases so I went for. Let me tell you that I am supper happy that I did. The case looks great, feels pretty solid, the color is pretty close the original NES and it is super easy to install, just a few screws. I paired the case up with some Bluetooth NES style controllers and I can in all honestly say that it looks and works better than any NES Classic. Plus I have way more games and other consoles like the Super NES, Sega Geneses, and Atari 2600 to name a few. Now when I take my NES-PI (That is what I call it) over to parties and friends house, they are all supper jelly, everyone wants me to build them one. My NES-PI is the life of the party. Nothing better than sitting around with buddies doing some retro gamming. In my circle of friends it usually ends up with everyone challenging each other to Streetfighter death matches. Which is something I could not get with the NES Classic so another plus for the NES-PI.So overall in the long run yeah it’s not an official Nintendo licensed NES Classic, and if you’re a Nintendo fanboy and need to have the Classic in order to feel complete then this may not be the option for you. In that case go over to EBAY and drop $500 on an item the was only worth $60 to begin with and only has 30 NES games on it (Yeah I know you can hack it and put every NES game on it but you are still limited to just NES games). However if you’re like me and felt cheated by Nintendo over the NES Classic shenanigan. Then Raspberry PI is the way to go. You will spend a bit more money than the original price of an NES Classic, but you will get way more use out of the PI, plus you will NEVER find an NES classic for less than $300 now. Over all I spent about $150 for my setup. You can build a RetroPI for way cheaper than this. If you chose the PI Zero, 16GB SD card, and get cheap wired controller you can be retro gamming for less than $30 bucks. However I had a specific setup in mind. Plus I wanted to make sure that I crushed any NES Classic Fanboys (Nailed It). So if you want something that looks amazing and out preforms the NES Classic than that is about what you will spend. My setup is a Raspberry PI 3 (I had the kit that came with a basic PI case, power supply, 8 G SD card, and heat sinks for the processor about $40 on Amazon) I upgraded to a  128GB SD card (About $40 on Amazon) , I bought an 8bitdo NES30 Pro Controller (I really love this thing, it works great and really give that Old School NES feel but with all the buttons needed for newer games and Bluetooth and is about $42 on Amazon), This Old Skool NES case ($20 on Amazon), and an NES Classic caring case that everything fits nicely into (About $20 at GameStop). I also use a PS4 controller for my second player that I will upgrade soon to another 8bitdo.

    Perfect case for a retropie build
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2017*

I had been looking into having a case 3d printed for my retropie build.  When I came across this case on Amazon, I found exactly what I was looking for.The raspberry pi 3 fit perfectly into the case.  All the ports are easily accessible with the exception of the gpio header.  Considering this was for a retropie build, I wouldn't need to access the header anyway.  I like that is has ample ventilation, something even the official pi cases do not have.  I'm not too sure about the USB cover, it is held in place by some pretty small tabs, which I could see eventually breaking down the road.I did make a few modifications to the case to get it exactly how I wanted it.  First off, I placed a red LED behind the small little power light hole to make it appear more like a real NES console, and to make it easier to tell when the unit was powered. I also added a small micro switch to the right side of the case front to power the unit on and off.  It looks good with a light grey switch, but I think next time I will try to find a way to re-purpose the fake switches instead.Overall I am very pleased with this little case, it is perfect for a retropie gaming console.
