I was originally going for a larger display, but the convoluted discription a got on amazon led me to getting this 5".
I honestly like the way it looks, and seems reminiscent of screen sizes in the 80's. But this is only a prototype, and the production models will have 7" displays.

I like the look of the small screen, but understand why you would want a larger screen

I prefer the smaller one. I think it has a more authentic appeal.

That sounds sick!

Sooooo... yeah. I've been living in Stockton for the last couple of months.
Just got a new laptop.
I'm over 100 miles away from all of my projects.
I think I'll start something new while I'm out here, and jump back into my Travel NES as soon as I get back home.

NES that works pretty well:
A Commodore Plus/4 that I don't have any plans for yet.
I only paid $16 for the pair. Not a spectacular deal, but I certainly didn't pay too much.
That's a great deal by my standards, the cheapest I've found an nes is like 30...

I've been going a little stir-crazy without anything to mod, so I had my old man send me a dmg and a collection of parts...
Stand by...

Man, I've just read this entire thread, and your mods are top-notch dude. TOP. NOTCH.
Would be good to see you finish the frankenkeyboard but I don't think I could live without the numberpad on my keyboard. Those shortcuts are some of the best!

The keyboard is finished and working (but dismantled for paint and patina).
You're not the first person to suggest that I should have left the numeral pad.
The next one will have a complete keyboard with the DMG mounted off to the side.

Okay. My dad shipped me some parts to play with.
I have a plan, and it's another one I haven't seen before.
It'll be simple, but super rad.
Stay tuned.

Placing all my bets on you cutting the backlights somehow and making them both fit so the DMG has a two toned screen. 
I've never seen it done.
