Still working on that. I made the decision to paint the small panels with enamel...dumb idea. Unless you can really really thin it out and paint with an airbrush, it will never cure.
So, I'm stripping and repainting those parts. Photos soon enough.

At this point, I don't want to sell direct. I looked into a Kickstarter campaign, but I just simply don't have enought spare time to dedicate to the project...sourcing vendors, tooling development, fulfillment, warehousing, logistics, etc., etc. It's just too much for a product with such a limited scope.

But, I will make the parts available via Shapeways. I'm working on some geometry optimizations that will reduce the cost.

I think the best use for the reset button is one of two functions...both fan-related.
(1) Fan on/off. Use a latching switch (ALPS SPPJ225800) to connect the fan to the +12V DC input terminal when pressed.

(2) Fan on/auto. Use the same switch to alternate between the fan connected to the normal fan terminal on the board (auto mode) or the fan connected to the +12V DC input terminal with either a transistor or relay connected to the +3.3V un-populated header so that only when the OUYA is powered on will the fan get power from the +12V input (full-on mode).

I really don't recommend option (1) because it requires you to press both switches anytime you want to turn the OUYA on or off. Option (2) is more complicated but much more elegant.
