    Hey guys this is my first project (kinda) was working on a N64 portable but I joined the military and I dont have any of the motherboards near me. Anyway, I figured I'd start off small and decided to make an snes portable with a raspberry pie and work my way up to bigger/consoles. I bought a raspberry pi 2, Wii U gamepad housing, and a 7" backup monitor as my screen. Well I got everything and the screen turns out to be too big! :cry: Well that means that I'm going to have to relocate the dpad and the ABXY closer to their sides. Now I've never done any case modding before so I don't have any real idea what to do. I have a dremel, but I would like to know the best recommended glue for re-attaching the sections I cut out.

    Loctite epoxy for plastics, it has a purple label. Downing had a great case tutorial and guide on his website that helped me so much. Sorry I don't have links on my phone.

    Why not get a smaller screen?

    I doubt 6.2" screens are easy to come by anywhere.
