Yes, people are 3d printing custom cases as well as modding their own. People have fit a pitendo into a NES game cart. I ordered a pi case today from amazon. It's currently naked as the day it was bought. Pic related.

I really don't get the compulsion to outfit every piece of tech ever to look just like the one you had when you were six.

Agreed, that is a nice case.

Can you run everything on it, and does it support original accessories well?

>>2613913
nostalgia, mixed with a bit of skeuomorphism here.

the only really important question is if it can output 240p via composite, s-vid, or component

The word you want is "portmanteau", which is actually mentioned in that very same XKCD comic.
