On the case...

Ok, so while I want to get everything contained in one box at the end, I'd like to keep the main parts as self contained components, within reason; so I picked up a wonderful extension to the Pibow case on eBay which gives extra protection to the LCD and seals the Pi and LCD together nicely.

I also ordered a case for the MakeyMakey, long overdue as I was always very careful handling the board directly, but now I can use it and not worry too much about damage.

This clear case also leaves all the various points exposed. Ironically I may not be using the MakeyMakey in this project (it has many other uses so it isn't a waste), I'm starting to favor a USB numeric keypad to get around the whole pain and size of housing cables and switches everywhere, as fun as that's been, it's getting in the way now.
