This is great! Can you post a picture of what it looks like with the board inside and things attached?

I just added a folder with the photos. Here is the Link.
The case itself had lots of updates, tho the basic case works great. Now it has a lid that will actually open, the lid has a hole for a fan and a rest for the PS3 controller.
I also put in two images with the pieces i used for the On/Off button.

Just saw this. Wow. Does the fan on top actually vent air or is it just a decoration ?
Great job either way!

I just added a
The fan on top is powered via USB, and it has a USB bypass:
Because the connector is too bulky I'll cut it out and wire the fan directly to the expansion pins. I'm deciding between the Pi2 Connector (Pins 4 (5v) and 6 (GND)) and the Euler "e" Connector (Pins 8 (5v) and 6 (GND)).
The fan speed is controlled manually, it would be great to actually get the software controlling it, but i don't know how to.

I had the aforementioned 12v fan, but the new 5v fan came in and here are images of it. I have it connected to pins 4 and 6 of the pi bus, that's 5v and ground respectively. The only problem is the way that it sits over the Lego studs has the fan blowing air out of the case instead of in over the heat-sink. While this is sub-optimal it will help I am sure. I have corner sloped pieces coming from brick link along with the newer version of this hinge that has stops built in and thus will hold up the lid better. I may keep this Lego case for my bench pine, currently I am thinking I can break out the euler and pi headers with ribbon cables that slip through a slot in the sides built with a plate then a gap then a standard 1x8 or 1x10 depending on how large it is, this will give me just enough space to have a ribbon cable run through the sides. and then connect that to a bread board or something.
