What are your thoughts on the new game themed pi cases being released?

@sgtjimmyrustles someone mentioned on youtube that the kintaro guys are looking into other cases like the Sega Genesis/megadrive. Could be just a rumor but im sure there is a market for it.

@sgtjimmyrustles Still the problem is there with the official case pcb's.

@quicksilver I like the pcb's on the 9000 model but the USB ports on the side is a big letdown.

Can't figure out why they did not produce it with front and back USB ports instead.

Sure it would be a little bit bigger but more resemble a genuine Snes US model.

Oh I've spoken to the Kintaro guy himself on discord, and he might be working on dreamcast. Right now, it's a PAL SNES.

He's making a new one with front ports, but you'll have to modify your pi a bit.

@sgtjimmyrustles Care to mention to him that there is a market for the sfc/pal model as well.

Oh don't worry, he's making one. I've already seen the screenshots. It's the one that has the usb ports.

Dreamcast and other consoles had replacement shells available, both official and 3rd party. Might be a good place to look and they would have loads of room for things like drives or multiple pis. I know its probably off topic for this threat, but I can definitely see some possibilities in them.
