just so many i am so cool
It's roughly 75mm by 105mm. Generally though, case design should come last in order to make sure that you have room for all of your parts. I wish I had done this, as everything fits in my case, but parts of my case are somewhat awkward to hold due to where they had to be placed.

We all know what is wii mini (or maybe not)its very lightweight version of the normal wii but without access to internet and no sd card slot what if we can trimm the board(by the guide that already exist there) make a case that is nintendo style(iam going to model it) and get the wii new breath?Is it be better for arround 25USD have this good console?Or for 29 very stripped down version?
Yes but more nintendo style sharp corners bottom pads etc

The parts for the ports on the inside is going to leave no room whatsoever for the board itself. You are completely neglecting a cooling system, which is essential. You have a power button, which is non-functional when running custom regulators.
Which proves the point other members were saying earlier. You shouldn't even think about your case or internal layout until you successfully trim a board.

Just trim a board already, there's really not much you can be helped with until you do so and ask questions THEN.

3. So, if you plan on trimming and using a 6 layer board, you want to follow the 6 layer trimming guide. A 6 layer board just has alternate relocation points for U10, bluetooth, etc. That is why there is a separate guide for 6 layer boards. Also, the trimming shape is just slightly different. Try reading it a bunch. It took me a little bit to figure it out.

I hope this helped.
