Title: MiniMig cases
Post by: Gavilan on February 18, 2008, 01:27:52 PM
Hi folks!
Im sorry of this has been asked before, but couldnt find the answer anywhere so here it goes:
Im about to order a Minimig from ACube (great support BTW!), but they only sell the mainboards without any cases

Im terrible with that kind of stuff, and i would need a case to host the board

Does anybody here build such a case? Do you know any place where i could order one?

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

Wizard66 was selling plexiglass top and bottoms (plus standoffs) so you could "kind-of" make your own.

Are MiniMig's available yet? I heard they had been delayed.

I'm willing to get more cases for the Minimig.
I already sold about 20 sets.
But I have to place a Minimum order for about 15 sets, for prodution to take place.
So lets see if there is still enough interest for the Minimig Cases..

People that maybe want one:

15. Fester 1x
14. AJCopland 2x
13.
12.
11.
10.
09.
08.

Mostly due to waiting for parts and trying to get time to build them. Ordering the FPGAs was fine but then had to wait until Feb' for a lot of it to actually arrive from digikey!  :-o

It'll be nice to give them (building 2) decent looking housings!

Which movie is this one?  There are three different ones at IMDB.com with the same or similar name.  There's this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213847/) from 2000, and set at the end of WW II, there's this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0818564/) which is a miniseries from 2008, and then there's this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455614/) from 2003.  I'm assuming it's the 2000 one, though...

On a completely different note:

What would the cost be to ship one of these cases to the USA?  Australia?  New Zealand?

Ouch...just did a Euro to dollars conversion for the case plus shipping...over $40!  Man does the dollar stink...

Title: Re: MiniMig cases
Post by: Firedawg on March 09, 2008, 01:10:32 AM
@beller

Yeah, I understand the pinch on the conversion.  When I first saw the case I thought was a simple DIY, but after I calculated my material costs (not to bad) and found someone who could do the engraving work and replicate the "AMIGA Mini Mig" on the plexiglass I was already over $50 USD.  So, going with the wizzard's case was still cheaper, even after USD to Euro conversion and shipping.

Title: Re: MiniMig cases
Post by: Firedawg on April 02, 2008, 06:33:49 PM
The standoffs provided with the Minimig should be sufficient protection lifting the board away from the Plexiglass.  As with all electronics (Minimig) touching them could lead to damage by a static charge.  

I have had a PC in a clear acrylic case for years with no problems of static charge.  

But, none the less something to consider when sliding your Minimig across the carpet...... :crazy:  
Title: Re: MiniMig cases
Post by: motorollin on April 02, 2008, 06:39:06 PM
What about damage occurring from objects or fingers accidentally going in the sides of the case? Or accidentally touching the board through the side? Seems a bit risky to me...
