10 Years Too Late

I haven't been posting regularly, so here's a catch-up post that covers some of the work that I've done in the past month...

I finally got around to painting the case using my Rust-Oleum Specialty Paint For Plastic Spray. I only gave it one coat, but the color seemed OK. I left it to dry completely, for a week.

Another thing I got done was putting in a spacer to correct the joystick height. I came across a set of chopping boards at Ikea that looked like it would give me about the right amount of spacing. Turns out the small board was just the right thickness! Now I have the joystick at the 23-24mm height from the faceplate. The chopping board was very easy to work with - I just cut it using a hacksaw and drilled the holes with my 15/16" hole saw and regular drill bit for the bolt holes.

Now, I'm waiting for my Multi-Console Cthulhu board to come in so I can make this work for my newly purchased PS3, also. So, come on ModChipMan, it's been about month (ordered May 10th) already!
