Super Famicom: Purple Shell & Transparent Trim

Retro Game Restore have just opened pre-orders on a purple version of their Super Famicom case.  They’ve previously made a purple version of the SNES shell that was absolutely beautiful, so they decided to make an SFC version as well.  They also opened orders on SFC clear and smoke trim pieces, for the controller port and bottom expansion port; SNES trim was previously released, however now both SFC and SNES trim can be purchased.  While it’s another $20, I strongly recommend buying them too, as they really complete the look of these shells!  More info below the links:

Below are some pics of the purple Super Nintendo version, as well as some pictures of the clear SFC trim pieces.  These were taking after installing a Voultar 2-CHIP bypass, which is the (mediocre ;p) modwork you see on the bottom of the motherboard:

Also, please note, this is a “you get what you pay for” scenario:  The shells are very high quality, which are not cheap to manufacture.  It’s totally fine if you don’t like them or don’t want to spend the money, but these are not “overpriced”;  They’re expensive, but priced exactly as they should be.
