I used 5/8" shelving board that has the white finish(smooth side) on it. For the top panel to have easy access to get inside, i used tiny brass hinges mounted on the back panel to the top panel. Now it lifts open with ease in case I need repairs, and the wood is heavy enough it does not open during heavy gaming use. I finished it off with some wicked contact paper i found to cover it. Sorry I dont have pics, I dont have a digital camera. Hope this answered what you needed. Good Luck.
: Thanks to the help I recieved from this message board and the people that replied to my posts, I was able to create my first project. It was a hacked Dreamcast pad and I created a joystick prototype out of an old Nike shoe box. It works great and I'd like to say thanks to everyone for the help. But I still have some questions on wood work, because I want to transfer the contrapion into a wood box. I was wondering what type of wood people recommend to create the box out of, and what is the easiest way to create one that can easily be opened in case it needs to be repaired. Any suggestions/comments would be great, and expect pictures in the up coming days. Thanks again!
