Does the pi3b prefer that orientation? I would think air holes up ould keep it cooler.

i made my 'lunchbox arcade' using a Pi3, Sanwa joystick and buttons and stuffed everything into a child's plastic lunchbox. powered by 10000 mA power bank.

Kevin Halley says:

Very interesting but I feel like that joystick is going to go right through the screen with one of my friends at the controls.
