If you continue to use the MicroSD, you should get an extension. The card slot they used is a cheap one and several people have had failures.
Mine got slightly bent when I reinstalled the board after fixing a temp problem. Wouldn't hold the card. I fixed it, but found it was REALLY a poor quality holder.
Here's the one I got:

I've done a few NES console builds and a few more NES cartridge builds. This album isn't mine, but for the port access I HIGHLY recommend using the decora keystone wall plate. You can get a gray one on Amazon that comes decently close to matching, and with some good glue work you'll barely notice it's there. Since you'll be using a dremel anyway to get rid of screw standoffs that are no longer necessary, cutting that opening should just take some patience.
I was a complete idiot with a soldering iron, and after getting some reps with it doing projects like these it's kind of amazing what you pick up. I found this site hugely helpful, since a lot of what I was doing was desoldering USB cables from PCB's (for the cartridge builds) and resoldering microUSB heads. You won't be doing a lot of desoldering, however everyone makes mistakes and sometimes fixing those mistakes involves removing solder. There are plenty of youtube vids out there for soldering, but all you need to get started is something like this. It's not the best iron in the world, but it's temperature controllable and something cheep to get you started. The only thing I'd add to that is a little flux, it will help tinning wire ends immeasurably.
Something else that's going to help you out a LOT for the console build: RELOCATE THE MICROSD CARD. Buy one of these, I routed mine to the left side of the cartridge opening, set vertically against the opening and at an angle so i can get the SD card in and out. You really don't want to rip apart 6 screws to open and close the unit, and if the SD card gets corrupted or you just want to change something on there that's exactly what you'll have to do. Move that sumbitch to the front and you'll never have to worry about it.
Thanks man, You both will love the CR-10. I'm running it stock... no upgrades other than a micro sd extension cable

I first bought this one but the end that goes into the Pi sticks much further out than a the card normally does and would not fit inside the case. This one is as big as a normal micro sd card and fits well. Just note (I didnt realize this until my Pi wouldn't boot) this opens and card is placed inside, not just slid in. Only issue with the one I am using is its very short, so have to be careful when removing the back.
