I used 3 pieces of scrap wood I had lying around. I glued and clamped them together so that they would be one piece.

I used way too much glue here. Next time I'll use less glue and it'll require less cleanup.

I cut 4 peaces out of the larger block.
Each one was cut to a 1/2 inch.

I cut 1/4 inch deep slots into the top and bottom. For the plastic top and bottom.

The measurements of the sides don't really matter as long as both short sides and both long sides are equal.

I traced all the connectors.
Then used a combination of the chisel and dremel to make the holes.

Make sure you don't forget to put the top and bottom in like I did.

I used tape to hold all the sides together.

I cut the top off the box. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, so let me know if there is a better way.

I used hot glue to keep the plastic from sliding around. The plastic was from the bottom of an Aldis bag and was too thin for the 1/4 inch grove.

I put two clear coats of poly, sanding once in between.

I mounted all the connectors and screwed down the electronics.

I added some rgb LEDs and loaded retropi.
