That is a really nice case! Where did you get it?

I am still having trouble getting one of those 10ft hdmi cables. I know the 6ft versions are out there but it would be ideal for the 10ft version. Anybody know where to get one? Amazon has been out of stock for what seems like forever. This is the last piece for my build but can't get one.

Yeah I still haven't seen them back in stock on amazon yet, and can't find a good replacement for it. I got the 6 foot version for now but can always swap it out later on.

I tried this one because it seemed promising, but the mini-hdmi end was too large and I ended up cutting so deep into the plastic that when I flexed it too much, the wires started to break inside. Also, the first picture of that item is not an accurate representation of the type of ends on it, the other pictures are like what I received, so it was more curvy than boxy.

Another idea is to look for an OTG mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter like this one and just plug in any HDMI cable you have laying around or buy a long one. But I could still see the problem of the mini-HDMI end being too large.

Bought it a while back at a local exchange. It's one of those generic external hard drive cases and the SNES controller is pretty much the same width as one of those. I think I paid $7 for it.

I think I found the closest thing here :D

Certainly cheap enough to be worth it!

EDIT: Nevermind, the 13cm length won't work with an SNES controller. There are plenty others out there though.

In the process of building mine, was wondering what you used to cut the pin header?

I ended up just using wire cutters and slowly worked my way from one end to the other.
