Re: Cheaper Minimig Enclosure

I would love a no frills case. The cheapest possible enclosure that gives me access to the buttons and ports. Sacrifice the gloss and logo. I would seriously love a Minimig, but the expensive case puts me off. I'm not good with my hands, and I dont own any tools, so making my own case is not appealing to me.

35 GBP or $100 NZD would be a very attractive price for me.

That is what I am working on, cutting here and there and see what I can achieve without damaging its funcionality.

Okay, great!

Just to remind you that the Minimig is expensive too, just because this is a case it doesn't mean it has to be cheap and nasty. In the pc world there are cases for up to £500 and that is the case alone. The Minimig enclosures has had months invested in time, effort and money, so just because it is not hardware it doesn't mean it's less important and it has to be treated with scorn.

Thats true, but in the PC world we also have the option of the el cheapo cases. I got an el cheapo case for my Sam :) I managed to find one thats mostly black that looks fairly alright.

I'm not sure why I want a Minimig so badly, because I very rarely play the old games. I think I like to have a shrine setup at all times so I can have a blast for 10 minutes when I feel like it.
