Sorry btw epiphytic1, just wanted to let others know it seems to be back on again.
here you go was on sale for 6$ a week ago, really well made too.
This is my favorite set up to give friends. Looks good and mostly foolproof hardware wise!
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Rasptendo SNES Case (IMO, connect the power button as intended, but either solder the reset button as per the method mentioned in there or don't connect it at all. This way there's no way for the user to do a non-safe shutdown of the OS)
Dual fan heatsink
Bluetooth adapter (more reliable than built-in bluetooth, change /boot/config.txt to disable onboard Bluetooth)
PS3 SIXAXIS Controller (Dualshock 3's work too, but I like the legit OEM ones, and those are hard to find. The convincing bootlegs/fakes are usually impossible to tell apart from legit ones when ordering online. That's why I look for used SIXAXIS controllers - no bootlegs. Also, I use PS3 controllers because pairing can be done or re-done entirely by connecting up mini-USB cables. No menus necessary once you set it up the first time!)
Sandisk 64GB MicroSD
Canakit PSU
HDMI cable, Mini-USB cable.

For a more serious, less user-friendly but more overclockable setup, ditch the case/heatsink above and go with these instead:
Some kind of heatsink, I'm using one from the Kintaro case but I suspect the cheap stick-on heatsinks are probably fine too
this open-air case (throw out the fan as it's way too loud... I'm sure other open-air cases will work but I like that this one has the 40mm setup for the below fan and the little grille to prevent curious fingers from getting in there at least)
this Noctua 40mm 5v fan (expensive, but quiet and provides solid cooling)

I posted a review of it on Reddit in this thread because Amazon wouldn't let me post since I got it at a discounted price.
I know it's included in this set. IDK if it's available separately.
