      Just want to share my Lego design for my RetroPie setup. Lots of Lego NES cases out there, but do they have working buttons, LED, and USB on the front? Mine has!

      Led fitted behind the red translucent piece, the two buttons pushes microswitches that is currently connected in series to prevent accidental input and powers the Pi on and off (via script). Desoldered one of the double USB ports and rewired it up front to mimic the original controller ports, and put some glossy black paint on it to better match the lego.

      Will provide instructions for the right amount of positive feedback ;-)
