ok another question guys! And thanks for all the help on the PSU question!
Anyone know where to find a decent box/casing for a consolized board in the UK?? Ive tried Maplin and the usual places but all the cases are pretty crap! Id be willing to pay for a decent shell even if it means shipping overseas, otherwise it means hacking a few bits together and then making them look nice!
cheers again!

I don't think you'll be able to buy a decent looking case for a consolised 2-slot. Project boxes are all just square and box-like. If you really want a fancy case you could try making your own on a vacuum table. Have a look at these links that powerbvd suggested in an old thread:

Or you could just do the same as everyone else and spruce up the original shell with a lick of paint and some stickers and put a nice baseplate on it. It actually looks really cool in a ghetto kinda way.

Oops sorry, my mistake for assuming you had a 2-slot even though you didn't say! Well that's a good reason for choosing a 2-slot because it already has a shell. Like I said before I don't think you'll be able to get a decent looking case for an mvs. You could always try using an old video console case, such as an aes or neo cd but seeing as your board has a horizontal cart slot it's not really going to work. In fact I reckon your only option with a horizontal cart slot is to make your own custom case in a vacuum mould.

That's freaking cool! Thanks for sharing that Adamaki!
