> 3 dayFirst off, this case is awesome! High quality feel, easy assembly, and once the setup script for power buttons is run, they function just as advertised! *There is one problem though and that is with wireless device dongles plugged in to the Nespi+ USB ports. (Xbox 360 wireless adapter, USB wireless keyboard adapter, etc..) With the current RetroPie 4.14, very large log files are generated continuously, and they eat up space on memory card until its full! 3 GBs in 30 minutes fast... Wired devices are fine though. > Until a permanent fix is deployed with RetroPie, you can plug another simple USB hub (like a laptop travel hub) into the Nespi+, and then your wireless adapters plug in to that. Its not ideal, but it allows you to use Xbox 360 controllers without killing your SD card until its fixed. (You could also revert to the previous release Ive heard) **Additional tip, if you are not in the UK, you may need to set your keyboard profile to US (or whatever region you are) in order to get the and | keys required for the safe shutdown script from command line on the Raspberry Pi directly. If you see @ instead of after striking the keyboard key, this applies to you! (mostly heads up for the new to Pi users) There is a YouTube video by ETAPrime that walks you through that. All that said, I still give this case 5 stars because its that awesome!

> 3 dayThe fan screws will break through the top of you aren’t careful. I can’t get the power button to work as a shutdown, but other than that, it looks great and works as it should.

> 3 dayI would give this 5 stars, but I spent an irritating amount of time trying to figure out why the safe-shutdown script wasnt working - turns out there is a on/off switch on the PCB board in the case that needs to be set to on; instructions make no mention of this.

> 3 dayCase is awesome mini replica of the old NES. only thing i will say is be careful installing the fan screws as to just barley get them snug or you will see on the topside where they tried to come thru where the material is thin.

> 3 dayI love this case. It looks great, and works flawlessly with my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Retropie build. -Note: Make sure you pay close attention when youre inputting the Safe Shutdown Script into your Pi. Linux is case sensitive, so mind your Os and 0s. It matters!

> 3 dayI absolutely love this little thing. Really high quality build; comes with everything you need to assemble. My only complaint is that the screws with the fan are a little too long, and they left marks on the top of the case when tightened completely; be cautious not to over tighten fan screws! Highly recommend this product!

> 3 dayUpdate 2/16/19 - My pi no longer boots or shows anything on screen. I suspect there was a power issue since I kept it running for a few weeks and after unplugging the unit to move it, it decided it was done with life. Even after removing it from the NESPi case and attempting to run it stock, nothing happens. I have many other Pis in the house and have never experienced a failure like this before. I had fun putting this together, my Pi 3 B fit nice and snug and the included screws and screwdriver all went in without a hitch. Fan installation was also easy, but Im not really sure how much impact it has on the overall temperature of the case. I cannot feel any air being pumped out under high load, but it hasnt failed me yet and no lightning bolt icons either with the Canakit adapter. Safe shutdown script installation and operation was easy and works as described. A great package!

> 3 dayGreat product, however the fan is horrible. Id pay extra for a quieter fan so please consider upgrading this with something better. The other issue is under-voltage due to the accessories that comes with the case. I dont even have a fan hooked up and Im getting under-voltage warnings. I swapped power supplies, SD cards and still the same issue.

> 3 dayGreat product! Looks real and has working door. Fan works well but is a bit loud. Keeps the Pie board cool even overclocked at 1375.
