If you're into MiSTer FPGA or retro gaming in general, MisterAddons is one of the best shops you can buy from. Their catalog covers the whole ecosystem. You can get a complete pre-configured MiSTer bundle that's ready to go out of the box, the MiSTercade V2 for putting a MiSTer straight into a JAMMA arcade cabinet, or the smaller stuff like their Reflex controller adapters, video converters, and USB-PD power cables. They've clearly thought about what people in this hobby actually need.
The aluminum Armor cases are worth calling out on their own. They're machined from solid aluminum with heatsink fins that cool the board passively, so there's no fan and no noise. The build is solid and heavy in a good way. It protects the hardware, takes knocks without a problem, and feels nothing like the cheap plastic cases you find elsewhere. You buy it once and you're done. I ended up getting two of them.
Yeah, you can find other FPGA kits and cases out there for less money. But that's the trade-off. When something goes wrong with one of those cheaper options, you're on your own and pretty much screwed. With MisterAddons you're paying a little more for the peace of mind that someone will actually stand behind the product and help you sort it out.
The support and service are the real reason I'd point people here. You deal with actual people who know the hobby and answer fast. Questions get real answers instead of copy-paste replies. Orders ship fairly quickly and show up well packaged. When there's a production issue, they fix it without making you jump through hoops. That kind of service is hard to find now, and its remarkable that communication is done directly by the owner himself. You can tell he enjoys what he does and it shows through his and his teams efforts.
Worth your money and more importantly your time.
