How about a thermochromic plastic? Probably expensive or impractical, but would give more colours for the price and perhaps indicate how well the cooling works.

Just really, really black https://culturehustle.com/products/...orld-s-mattest-flattest-blackest-art-material

I think having 3 colors (if not all black) is almost a must...

I'd really like that if the brown had a woodgrain effect.

I was aiming for dark red-ish like the famicom but there's too little light

Normally I'd always pick a dull unobtrusive colour for my tech. However, I always love this type of paint

I thought it wouldn't be nice but a combination like this is starting to grow on me too.



I'm just spouting ideas here, maybe some more constructive thread must be started to help Ed with decission making.

You do know there was a thread full of coloured renders of the Pyra? I'm too lazy to look it up, but a few of the ones you've done here were done in there (specifically, I did a breadbin C64)

Edit: Hmm, can't remember if I did or not now, I remember doing a bunch of renders. Anywhere here's a C64 colour render

Im happy whit everythink expekt this "Pandora Platinium"..
But a bit diverence in Color wouldnt hurt..

A bit Off Topic: i tryed my GPD Win on my new Office TV Setup (Building a Desctop PC out of an LCD TV, a USB Hub, Mouse and Keyboard), and i noticed that its Fan stopped spinning when i closed the Lid, so dos this means that it will overheat if you use it on a TV as a "Computer" ??
I played quite a bit Farming Simulator 2013 in this Setup..

I plan to use the Pyra for the whole Office thing as well, and as its dosnt have any fan (expect us ^^) i dotnt think this will be a big issue..

We could now also mix different colors together, for example, have the keyboard part a different color than the lid, etc.
Time to resurrect the old thread with the different color themes to see what we can do to make it look good, eh?

Which parts are on the same moulds ? Does it mean that, if someone wants a black and red Pyra, someone else will get a red and black ond (reversed colors) ?

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

I am still hooked on the dark red as per the website renders. A touch of silver trimming would be cool with that though.

 

[ClockworkCoder]

Of course, if the case colour ends up not to one's taste, it could be plastered with foss, anime, meme (or whatever) stickers... would certainly make it unique.

Pyra stickers would be cool

 

[Caine]

More colours? Again? Why don't we discuss something important, like the layout of the keyboard.

 

[rygD]

That's the one, there's your winner. Everyone go home, all cases will be hot pink.

I thought you wanted pastel pink or something. Doesn't matter, as long as we are in agreement that hot pink is the best option everyone will be happy.

Look at all these exciting colour options that suck compared to clear.

Transparent cases clearly suck

Yes, it'll overheat. The fan was a last minute addition, so they did a sloppy job at it and had it connected to the screen's power source. I would recommend getting some rubber feet, so that the heat emanating from the plastic casing doesn't end up pooling up on the surface you're placing your Win on quite as much.
I'm starting to wonder if the Pyra could benefit from some rubber feet as well.

Actually...
Heat normally travels faster through solid surfaces than it does to static air. Contact with the desk/table/etc might work better than fan off & elevated.

Ok so it’s would be a better solution on the Gpd Win to just let the lid open whyle using the TV Screen ..

One reason more for the Pyra: the Heatsink works whiteout the need of a Powersource..

I didn’t found out how to Connect to my Network Printer whit the Pandora,
So I think until I get my Pyra, I will use the Gpd for Office Work in the Office..

Signed up just to beg for beige. Eight bit’s render a few pages back is my preferred option by far. I never had A C64 but this looks eerily similar to my beloved 286 and tickles all my nostalgia receptors.
