Planning to do almost exactly this except with a NESessity board and the SNES multiout. Thanks for the inspiration and thorough tutorial videos throughout the years.

one tip Id give for applying the label is get some painters tape and use that to create a guide so you can view if the logo is aligned a lot easier

Wife said it looks like one of those 90’s wall phones we all had/wanted.

It looks really great with that logo on the front. Love this.

Yeah wow, that was the first thought i had when seeing that clear shell! it's just wow right :D. They did an awesome job making it!

That's awesome. I put my modded OG Xbox in a clear shell. I also installed a bunch of orange LEDs. I also have several NESs. I'd love to put one in a clear case.

Nice overview! I'm doing a very similar build with the clear shell, a NESessity board I've built last year and I even got the same controller shells 😊.

Thanks so much! I did find replacement rubber feet and that definitely makes it better

I built a arcade stick controller for my NES. It is in a clear case. Would look awesome paired with a clear NES.

I’d have to add some red and blue LED’s to light up the insides of the case. Maybe put them on a small toggle switch.

If you can get clear bottom labels like the NES door logo, I'd say go for it, but otherwise leave those spots open to see the internals.

Thats awesome, I wish i would have had one of yjose shells when i repaired a nes I got last summer. The shell i had was busted up and missing pieces, took a week of designing psrts and bodywork to get it looking good again. I was missing the cartridge tray so i ended up designing a new one, I et if it was printed in transparent resin it would look great in the transparent shell.

Could find some reproduction labels to put on the bottom shell and later retrobrite the original shell still using the original labels.

@LIRetroGaming

Yeah, I do plan to get that original shell retrobrited

You should make replicas of the labels for the bottom, preferably with clear backing. I believe 8bitguy has a video about remaking labels for cartridges and I assume it would be the same for the console.

+1 on this, I'd say recreating them would be the best way to go.

I have a guy that makes holographic labels for my console mods, all of my transparent consoles get holo labels and metallic logos.

Nice! I want one :D

Faria um sleeve nestes cabos, ficaria super discreto e bem bonito dentro, essa case da RGR é top demais.

I think you should at least do some of the replacement NES console stickers. I don't know if you can get replacements for all of them but I know some are available.

Freakn awesome! *checks account for new project funds*

Those clear shells are so cool. I have considered taking on this same project, but with a custom transparent paint job. Only thing I can't decide on is to make the paint totally custom, or paint it with transparent paint colored close to the original in the same color scheme.

That's cool. They made a new build of the NES board. Why not integrate RGB in it as well on the board. Maybe HDMI. Whatever. Has anyone remade the pin connector so the cart works every time. Hope someone does. Id replace mine. The ebay one i got wasn't to good ether. Maybe make it affordable as well. I think ill get the case. The snes case i got is kinda yellowed. Just grabbed it quick because it was $50. didn't' even know about the different chips. I think it's the worse of the one's. The rgb is still a bit blurry. Whatever really.

another 100 buck shell swap? when are they going to learn that at that pricepoint, they are only going to sell 3 of them. guys, i can buy a gdemu for less than that. until these hit 20 buck, they aren't going to be a thing. i'll mount my motherboard in a shoebox before i pay a premium for a shabby repro. you know they show up with blemishes out of the box and parts that need to be dremelled off. you're crazy at 100 buck, do you have any idea what i can build for 100 buck? my last custom arcade stick costed me around 40, i can sell it for 300. what's a clear nes go for? it would have to be worth 400, minimum, for this to be worth it, and i'm pretty sure they're not worth anything close to that. sht, i bet i can build a custom case out of acrylic for 20, hard pass.
