New Project, looking for input & gauging interest

I remember the US TG-16 being pretty full inside. Something about a revised (I.e. cheaper) chipset being used for ours. I don't have one anymore, otherwise I'd crack one open :(
The price point that you guys want is pretty consistent. I'll try and aim for that 50-100 mark, but no promises. It may mean a slightly less refined product at that price. We'll see.
I'll address specific posts when I get home. Too much work on the phone.

I'd give my first born son for one of those SoNintendo PlayStations. It would probably work better with PS2 hardware? Not sure. I envision the SFC/Satellavision type look to it, with a front loading cd drive for the PS1/2 part, and then having the cart slot on the top. If that's too technically difficult, maybe having it look like that Jaguar CD mockup with the top loading cd tray in the front, and the cart slot in the back. As far as the controllers go, have SNES on top of/below PS1/2 ports? Again I'm not aware of the technical limitations, but picturing it in my mind, it looks quite awesome :D

What i would love is sanded white cases to do case paint jobs on.
And also something like 1 base for 2 or 3 super famicoms,
so I could have a Super Famicom unmodded, A US cart slot modded SFC, and a PAL snes all in "one" .
But the tops could stay the same or have a custom case

Working on some modelling. Was a super busy weekend (but I did sneak out to see teh Avengers, totally worth it), so I haven't had a chance to reply to everyone just yet. I'll address everyone's replies, questions, and concerns ASAP!

Alright, busy busy busy. I knocked out this quick mockup today. This would house the original guts with ZERO modification. Simply unbolt the board from the original shell, and then bolt it into this guy. ANYONE will be able to do this. I will even include a security driver for those that don't already have one. 5 minute job, tops.
Is this a design that works for any of you folks?
Remember, NOTHING is set in stone at this point. I'm just tossing out ideas to get an idea of what will have the broadest appeal and what doesn't. Tell me what ya' think and I'll get back to it :)
