            Nicely documented, it's cool to see it grow from stuff-in-a-carton-box to proper finished!

            I love how you finished the cutouts for the pads, with rubber foam for that nice fit and feel. Great!

            You should be proud of yourself!

            If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                    I almost couldn't believe it. Looks like a photo-shopped retro gaming dream. But when I saw the photograph of the "guts" of this James Bond suitcase I actually did start to believe it. Some handy people can make pieces of art w/ a Pi. Wish I had such talent. :-)

                      You should try to build something, I'm sure you can make it! And a bouns is all the knowledge you get when doing it.

                          Great work @stahl80. I can see that a lot of care and attention to detail went into this and it has really paid off. The finished article is fantastic.

                          Well done!

                                        Fantastic build.

                                        Two questions: How much does it weigh?

                                        If you were to do it over again, what would you have done differently?

                                          Not exactly sure about the weight, but quite heavy I would say. But not so heavy that its a issue, guess it's more of a bring it and play somewhere else than gaming on the go device. But of course it will work fine anywhere you can sit down and play.

                                          What I would do different, quite hard question. A lot and nothing :). I'm pleased with the result with in mind that it's my first "major" build like this. I always wanted a bigger display but choose the smaller with powerconsumption and powerdraw in mind. I also wanted hdmi out but it wasn't possible to get that working smooth with that display and setup, also wanted a micro sd cardslot in the panel to swap between different systems quick but couldn't find a good panel mounted sd slot, still able to do that but directly on the Pi then.

                                          Otherwise I think it turned out a lot like I imagine it :). And agin, thanks for all the positive comment, overwhelmed 😁.
