So I wanted an NES Classic like so many millions of other people
So I wanted an NES Classic like so many millions of other people. I searched and searched since the lunch date and was never able to find one at retail. I did the rounds at every local target game stop and BestBuy stores, several times a week. I even tried my luck at the Walmart lottery and was very close to scoring one a few times. When all that failed I stared watching EBay and Craigslist in the hopes that prices would drop as the hype diminished and stock grew. Then the news came out that Nintendo was no longer making the NES Classic. The prices went from $150 / $200 all the way up to $350 / $400 even $500 for some. I knew at that point I would never own an NES Classic. I was sad, disappointed and over all very furious, but I was determined not to let this bring me down.I already had a Raspberry PI 3 running RetroPI, (For those that don’t know what this is, basically it’s a small computer running an operating system that has pre-installed emulators for pretty much any console or arcade game ever made, and all you need to do is add the roms for each game). If you do a google search you will get more than enough tutorial and YouTube videos on how to set one up and where to get the needed parts.My RetroPI worked great and was lots of fun, but it didn’t have that polished looked of the NES Classic. Even with just a basic PI case it still was lacking the right look I wanted. I found some skins you could add to a regular PI case to make it look like an NES. They look good from what I saw online but this still was not that finished look I was going for.I started looking at 3D printed cases for the PI that had the NES look. I found a lot of good options, but still not exactly what I wanted. Then that is when I found the Old Skool NES case for Raspberry Pi. This had the look I wanted and I like how the game drawer opens up to gain access to the USB ports. The price was a bit cheaper then most 3D printed cases so I went for. Let me tell you that I am supper happy that I did. The case looks great, feels pretty solid, the color is pretty close the original NES and it is super easy to install, just a few screws. I paired the case up with some Bluetooth NES style controllers and I can in all honestly say that it looks and works better than any NES Classic. Plus I have way more games and other consoles like the Super NES, Sega Geneses, and Atari 2600 to name a few. Now when I take my NES-PI (That is what I call it) over to parties and friends house, they are all supper jelly, everyone wants me to build them one. My NES-PI is the life of the party. Nothing better than sitting around with buddies doing some retro gamming. In my circle of friends it usually ends up with everyone challenging each other to Streetfighter death matches. Which is something I could not get with the NES Classic so another plus for the NES-PI.So overall in the long run yeah it’s not an official Nintendo licensed NES Classic, and if you’re a Nintendo fanboy and need to have the Classic in order to feel complete then this may not be the option for you. In that case go over to EBAY and drop $500 on an item the was only worth $60 to begin with and only has 30 NES games on it (Yeah I know you can hack it and put every NES game on it but you are still limited to just NES games). However if you’re like me and felt cheated by Nintendo over the NES Classic shenanigan. Then Raspberry PI is the way to go. You will spend a bit more money than the original price of an NES Classic, but you will get way more use out of the PI, plus you will NEVER find an NES classic for less than $300 now. Over all I spent about $150 for my setup. You can build a RetroPI for way cheaper than this. If you chose the PI Zero, 16GB SD card, and get cheap wired controller you can be retro gamming for less than $30 bucks. However I had a specific setup in mind. Plus I wanted to make sure that I crushed any NES Classic Fanboys (Nailed It). So if you want something that looks amazing and out preforms the NES Classic than that is about what you will spend. My setup is a Raspberry PI 3 (I had the kit that came with a basic PI case, power supply, 8 G SD card, and heat sinks for the processor about $40 on Amazon) I upgraded to a 128GB SD card (About $40 on Amazon) , I bought an 8bitdo NES30 Pro Controller (I really love this thing, it works great and really give that Old School NES feel but with all the buttons needed for newer games and Bluetooth and is about $42 on Amazon), This Old Skool NES case ($20 on Amazon), and an NES Classic caring case that everything fits nicely into (About $20 at GameStop). I also use a PS4 controller for my second player that I will upgrade soon to another 8bitdo.

Perfect case for a retropie build
I had been looking into having a case 3d printed for my retropie build. When I came across this case on Amazon, I found exactly what I was looking for.The raspberry pi 3 fit perfectly into the case. All the ports are easily accessible with the exception of the gpio header. Considering this was for a retropie build, I wouldn't need to access the header anyway. I like that is has ample ventilation, something even the official pi cases do not have. I'm not too sure about the USB cover, it is held in place by some pretty small tabs, which I could see eventually breaking down the road.I did make a few modifications to the case to get it exactly how I wanted it. First off, I placed a red LED behind the small little power light hole to make it appear more like a real NES console, and to make it easier to tell when the unit was powered. I also added a small micro switch to the right side of the case front to power the unit on and off. It looks good with a light grey switch, but I think next time I will try to find a way to re-purpose the fake switches instead.Overall I am very pleased with this little case, it is perfect for a retropie gaming console.

Great quality case - looks like a real NES!
This case is absolutely ADORABLE. The level of detail in the case is remarkable. It is really well made, and is a proper construction from a mould - not just a 3d printed case like a lot you see on ebay/Amazon/ETSY etc that are of poorer quality plastic. This is robust and tough.The creator is very friendly and helpful and even offered some advice to me around modifying it with a fan (which I didn't go through with in the end).Highly recommended!

Oh bist du niedlich!
+ Der Look. Kommt schon, darum seid ihr doch hier :D+ Keine Adapter oder Sonstiges um das Gehäuse verwenden zu können.* In Gegensatz zu anderen Retro-Gehäuse muss man hier Innen keine Adapter anhängen. Man verliert auch keine Anschlüsse.#Inhalt: Mini-NES Gehäuse + 2 Passive-Kühlkörper#Lässt sich enorm schnell zusammenbauen.Die 2 passiven Kühlkörper oben anbringen (Folie abziehen, genaue drauflegen und ~1 Minute leichten Druck ausüben)Nur bei ausgebauter Raspberry und auf einer Unterfläche wie Karton. Die Platine nicht zum durchbiegen bringen!Deckel auf, Raspberry rein, Deckel zu, umdrehen und die 4 Schrauben reindrehen. FERTIG.#Zum Betrieb: Ich verwende eine Samsung EVO 65GB Karte und hab die ordentlichen zum glühen gebracht.Im Gehäuse hat mir Recalbox Monitoring schwankende 76-85°C angezeigt.Für wem empfiehlt sich das Gehäuse dann?Genau für die Retropie und Recalbox User, für die dieser Retro Look gefertigt wurde.*Wer mit seiner Raspberry Pi3 viel experimentiert und eine hohe Auslastung benötigt, sollte Abstand nehmen.Dieses Gehäuse zielt nicht auf Leistung, sondern auf Aussehen.An der Rückseite hat man direkten Zugriff auf die mircoSD Card.Daneben sind 2 Löcher. Perfekt platziert um den Raspberry Betrieb zu erkennen. *Siehe Foto*Vorne lässt sich der Deckel öffnen um einen direkten Zugriff auf den LAN-Port und 4x USB zu haben.#Ich hab so viel positives Feedback aus dem Freundeskreis erhalten, dass ich derzeit mehrere zusammenbaue, siehe Foto-Anhang.Meine NES-Mini Klonsoldaten :D### TIPPS FÜR EINSTEIGER ###Netzteil mit 3A kaufen und ON/OFF Schalter. Findet man auch auf Amazon. Einfach nach "Raspberry Pi 3 Netzteil Schalter" suchen.Grund: 3Ampere = mehr Ressourcen frei. Das Netzteil wird dann auch nicht einmal warm.Zum Schalter: So kann man die Mini-Konsole gemütlich mit 1 Knopfdruck Ein/Aus-schalten, ohne ständig das Netzteil zu ziehen.*Siehe Foto*Irgendwie halt ich dieses Teil lieber in der Hand als damit zu spielen.Achja ich muss ja diese Rezension noch absenden :D Viel Spaß damit!

Was will man mehr?
Achtung bei den Bildern!!! Der Schwarze streifen wurde nachträglich von mir selbst Lackiert!!!Das Gehäuse macht einen hervorragenden stabilen Eindruck.Zu der Klappe kann ich noch nix sagen, aber man muss ja auch nicht rumrammeln dran. Vorsicht ist geboten. Ich habe das gelenk minimal noch mit etwas Schmierfett beschichtet (kann nicht schaden)Klar eine 1 zu 1 Kopie ist das nicht allerdings eine Perfekte Alternative zum NES Mini.Also was will man mehr?? Ich habe für Raspberry Pi3 und dem ganzen Zubehör ca 109€ bezahlt (lass er 160€ sein mit noch mehr Controllern)Zum Vergleich NES Mini weit über 200€ ein paar NES spiele und einfach nur klein und bei einem Raspberry ca 109-160€ ----- klein, stylisch, vielfältig, Emulatoren Nintendo....Sega....Playstation und und und....Ich bin mehr wie zufrieden und ich kaufe mit Sicherheit noch ein paar davon als Geschenke

Passt perfekt und sieht knuddelig aus
Ich habe einige Zeit nach einem passenden Gehäuse für meinen Retropie gesucht: Mal waren sie zu eng und stauten zuviel Wärme auf, mal waren sie schlecht verarbeitet und hatten scharfe Kanten oder die SD-Karte ließ sich nicht richtig einstecken oder entfernen.Bei dem NES-Gehäuse passt alles prima und es sieht wirklich niedlich aus. Es kam zumindest bei der Einweihung des Retropie mit ein paar Freunden sehr gut an.Ich kann gut ohne den schwarzen Streifen an der linken Seite der Gehäusefront leben. Wahrscheinlich wurde er weggelassen, um lizenztechnisch keine Probleme zu bekommen. Könnte man notfalls nachträglich über ein Stück schwarzes Klebeband hinzufügen.Als Verbesserungsvorschlag würde ich mir in Zukunft kleine anti-rutsch-Aufkleber an den vier Sockeln wünschen, damit es nicht so leicht verrutscht. Das gäbe dem ganzen dann auch ein noch edleres Finish. Und am Preis könnte auch gerne ein Bisschen geschraubt werden.Dennoch gilt als Fazit: Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Sehr cooles Teil für den Pi
Wer Retro Game Simulation mit seinem Pi betreibt wird mit diesem Gehäuse sehr zufrieden sein. Es sieht zwar nicht 1:1 aus wie das original, kommt diesem aber sehr nahe. Mitgeliefert werden zwei Heatsinks für den Pi, auch nicht schlecht, ich selbst habe noch einen kleinen Lüfter im Gehäuse unterbringen können damit die Luft zirkuliert.Wer seine Controller immer angesteckt hat sollte vermutlich zur teureren Alternative greifen, die hat nämlich ein integriertes USB Hub und man muss den kleinen Gehäusedeckel nicht offen lassen. Für den Preis ist es allerdings sehr nett.
