TFW you see your photos from this build showing up on eBay auctions :-/
What the heck?
-
That actually pisses me off.
-
@hansolo77 Me too. They are using those photos in a number of listings. I messaged the seller, but I'm not sure they'll take them down.
-
Maybe you need to contact eBay directly..
-
@hansolo77 Ugh, the seller even says this in the description
You can see much more information on this process by searching Google for "retropie topic 6003" and it should be the top response
-
:( wow
-
-
@hansolo77 Yeah, the only thing I can really do is update the original post.
Edit: Done. Boldly.
-
@obsidianspider B*ds 😞
Everyone is out to make a quick buck
-
I'll say this, the seller responded first thing this morning, and did remove the photos, at least from the initial post. Hopefully they will also be removed from their other listings.
-
There is some hope for the world. The seller removed my photos from all of their listings and was polite in their correspondence.
I removed my note at the top of the original post.

thumbs down to the ebay lame using this thread to profit. least they could do is make it then sell it?!

Thanks for the shout out. I love seeing my boards in these builds.
-
@eulogy i love the grill. I would love to know your method you used to cut it /file it?
-
@edmaul69 i used a dremel with a cutoff wheel through the backside..cut a rough hole then kept carefully shaving it down. then used some small cheap files from harbor freight, which for the price are pretty good. ive used them on metal, and they have different shapes in the pack. finished it up with some 1000 and 2000 grit sandpaper.

I'm thinking of making one of these as a fun little project and have a quick question? Would this power supply be a good one to get for this? https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-100V-240V-Adapter-Support-PS-5V25/dp/B00MRFR1XA/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&qid=1488568451&sr=8-16&keywords=5v+2.5a+usb+power+supply&
Just thought I'd ask before going and buying everything for the build? Thank you and have a good day! :)
-
@Koji-Kenshiro That doesn't appear to have a Micro USB plug on the end, so unless you're doing something different to interface with power, that's not going to work.
-
@obsidianspider @eulogy @adamspc
I'm thinking of interfacing it with the Improved On/Off Board that eulogy used for the power switch.
