livingspeedbumpThanks! I'm definitely in love with it. I can't make up my mind for kiosk art and the base needs a door in the front and it will be officially done on the hardware side; I'll probably always be messing with the software trying new systems and games and software improvements.

I have 7 Pi's at the moment, five of them are actively employed. 1. Pi 3 Retropie Arcade machine (bartop/full size convertible) http://i.imgur.com/RIot2OT.jpg 2. Pi 3 OSMC - Kodi based media center front-end using TV Addons for streaming shows that aren't available on Netflix, Amazon, or any channel specific apps (ABC, FOX, etc.). LOVE this setup. I recommend an air mouse and learning basic shortcut keys for kodi (M to bring up video controls for example). Setup Instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lpDtM2Shsw 3. Pi 1b Musicbox - http://www.pimusicbox.com/ Mine's installed and setup but my receiver is on the fritz so I haven't actually deployed it yet in my living room. It's recommended to use a cheapy USB sound card for better sound output with this one. 4. Pi 3 - Desktop compy in my shop connected to a 32" LCD tv I got for free - I have game nights, shop nights, and hangouts out there all the time and it comes in handy for looking up vid tutorials for something I'm building, researching ideas, youtube watching, etc. 5. Pi 2b - Pi-hole - Haven't deployed yet, I'm working on installing an AP first. https://pi-hole.net/
I've seen some NES/SNES/Atari themed stickers/decals for the official Pi case floating around that would be a fantastic addition to a Retropie themed run - I could certainly design some original ones if MD is inclined to source a case and give me some dimensions. The cheap $5 USB NES/SNES controllers floating around china are surprisingly good as well. Of course you could also do a full arcade kit with buttons, joystick, and usb controller interface.
