Use A Game Boy As A Raspberry Pi Case


There’s no shortage of creative enclosures for your Raspberry Pi. We’ve seen the tiny Linux computer stuffed inside of a coffee table, a keyboard and now, an original Game Boy!

Hack A Day highlights Matt’s clever casework. He was able to keep the USB and HDMI ports accessible, incorporate the classic red power LED, and even hack together a power switch for the device. Unfortunately, the screen isn’t functional, but it’s still a great use for a broken old gadget (though don’t break one just to use it as a case!).

Want to get started started with your own Raspberry Pi? Check out our beginner’s guide to the $US35 computer, build your first simple case out of cardboard, and then check out the rest of our posts for tons of great ideas.
