        @Darkrx8 looks amazing bro. Did you use the DragonRise USB modules? Also, where can I find one of those plugs with pwr on/off switch like that? Additionally, what are those buttons next to said pwr input for?

          The moduals i got off ali express they cam with my buttons and joys sticks. The plug is a C14 socket with built in switch and fuse. Was only a few dollars off ali express. The red button is a piezo electri button ( momentary switch) used as a shutdown as my kids would just u plug the unit or use the main power switch to turn it off. One you hiy tbe button it exits retropie and shuts down the system properly..

            @Darkrx8 very nice! And good position of components inside! But maybe in this style better "clean look", just dark wood without pictures and black/white buttons and sticks... Like game consol for serious woodman, who want some relax))

              @Darkrx8 So the socket was something like so:

              URBEST Inlet Module Plug 5A Fuse Switch Male Power Socket 10A 250V 3 Pin IEC320 C14 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME5YAPK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gpZcCbSJSXWX8

              Also, how exactly did you do up the wiring to the power strip in order for the built in button to be a master switch?
