New Project, looking for input & gauging interest
TyrannicalFascist:
If it was ultimately based on the prototype Sega Neptune shell, it would have to have some modifications to allow CDs. I'd definitely get in on a Genesis-CD-32X/Neptune.
Heck, might as well throw in the Power Base Converter, and somehow have a 4-in-1 Sega system: Master System, Genesis, CD & 32X! :P
Just Kidding.... ::) But I'm sure people would want to make sure the Power Base Converter could fit on top of such a system.
Mr. Terrific:
Wiggy, I was looking at the mock-ups you posted back on page 7 and I'm wondering if brushed aluminum is an option for the case. (The first few images seem to suggest that.) You said that "material choices are more plentiful than expected". Maybe you can elaborate on that? Speaking solely for myself, I love the sleek look of electronics in metal casings.

Impossable. power base will not word with the 32x. you would need to have a cart path switch box.
which i will try to make sometime.

Well, the proto is on its way, but it's gonna need some color as its being machined from raw white ABS. So, I figured I'd ask you guys and gals for some opinions. I want to get a Kickstarter page up ASAP, and having some nice photos of a complete painted proto will obviously be a big plus. So, let me know what you think! Here are a few quickies to get started
I'm also considering making matching cart shells.

To be honest I'd be happy with any of those. But I think the high gloss red is calling to me the loudest.
