Im lookin into ways of intergrating it into my Glitched NES... come up blank so far.

1 - Rehousing

I assume in theory, it would be possible for me to make a little box and buy a couple of easily mountable switches and knobs and wire them to the relevant contacts on the PCB? Assuming it is possible, the 2 little red switches I would guess are momentary switches usually in the "on" position? (yeah I have virtually no idea about electronics). Also the twisty knob I guess is a potentiometer? What number potentiometer would I need? I THINK it says 5KD but I am not sure.

2 - Bending

Would it be possible to try bending the PVB as one would a NES? I assume probe the PCB looking for interesting wierdness?

Lastly, random question, was the visual aesthetic influenced at all by the Atari Video Music thing?
