Minimig Case

[TheDaddy]

>>Just wait until the Minimig has some sort of hard file/hard drive support and then I'll show it doing something amazing

I am intrigued! :-)

[TheDaddy]

>>I'm gobsmacked. Your case is simply unbelievable.

Thanks gklinger.

I have posted more photos on the site:

Hi,

Thanks for the comment.

I haven't tested the Apple keyboard and mouse yet, they were used for presentation purposes only.

I know that the USB to PS/2 adaptor works with my pc Logitech mouse but I don't know if it works with the Apple ones (keyboard or mouse).

Thank you :-)

[TheDaddy]

>>Great Work, please, one case for me. I'll send you a PM.

You are on the list.

Thank you very much,

@everyone

What a day!

A battle of wills and emails! At the rate of one every 4 minutes!

We have reached a compromise, the plain case is scrapped as the difference between the two was minimal, a lot less than the expected £8 (10 Euros).

So everyone who has ordered a Minimig enclosure should get the name/logo included in the price. For those of you, not very many, who asked for the Minimig enclosure WITHOUT the name/logo, I'll include it in the box with the enclosure and you can then decide what to do with it.

I was pushing for an affordable price, to make it happen, the sales manager was going for a more realistic and completely different price (to recover costs etc.), we met in the middle.

Some of you will be pleasantly surprised (even amazed or just think I am stupid! :-) )others not so but it undercuts any mini-nano itx by a big chunk! I am glad. I prefer seeing it happen than not.

Also all I want is to sell my creation, make the community happy with something new and fuel future projects.

We haven't reached the magic number yet (50) to go into production but many thanks to everyone who has registered their interest, very much appreciated and it really makes me want to carry on with this and future projects.

A bit of statistics:

The majority of orders are from Norway, Sweden and Denmark  (you really love your Minimigs there!) I have an order from one of you for 4 enclosures!
followed by the U.K., South America, Italy, Germany, Austria and then Canada and the U.S.A.

I found it really interesting. :-)

Final price later tonight,

Many thanks again,

:-)

>>Nice work TheDaddy! I'll raise a glass to your efforts!

Thanks, I am going to join you.

To something new and exciting! :pint:

Sorry for reviving this slightly old thread, but i just dropped by, and wanna say how amazing i think this is...

Thank you. :-)

>>It's nice to see there is finally some movement going back into the Amiga scene.
Hope there are enough orders.
Awesome job, Loriano.

Thank you very much for the kind words, you can't imagine how happy that makes me! :-)

Anyway I have been pretty busy and the first batch of enclosures has gone into production, not as many orders as I would I wished for (had to chip in myself) but at least it's happened! Thank you to all the people who have bought (pre-paid) one.

I have one more little surprise...coming soon. :-)

>>I've only just browsed across to this thread, and I have to say that this... is... brilliant...!

Thank you, it's been very, very hard but it's here now :-)

>>(The towered A1200 is pretty amazing too by the way)

Thanks, that WAS my pride and joy, until I decided to sell it (for very little money - £300) to finance an A1 (which then sold out!) :-(

>>hopefully you get to enjoy the fruits of your labours!

I hope so, I am so much in the red at the moment it makes me hysterically mad! LOL!  :-)

>>Is it late to get one?
I'm getting a MiniMig in shot, and I want it to look THAT COOL!!
I live in spain, but I can use paypal or whatever you want to pay in advance.

No, it is not too late, I will still have some left, but please email me:

amigarulez@hotmail.com

PayPal is the only payment method at the moment so that is ok.

Thank you. :-)

>>For the last few years it was kind of depressing sometimes, but at the moment, i feel there are a few really shining sparks in the dark night, and your endeavour with the MiniMig case is one of them (others being NatAmi and AROS for me)...

I think Dennis did a great job and ACube have had the guts to produce it. As a designer and an Amiga nut I thought I had to do something (it was scary) even though has cost me loads in time and money. I agree that things are getting better, the Minimig is a lot of fun and extremely cute. It is also fun because it's not perfect yet, not until the new firmware is released. Natami looks promising and I am already working on a case for it.

>>Btw, after the prepaid ones given out, are there a few units left?

I will have a few left and if people are still interested I can order a new batch. The more I produce the less they will cost too. Which is nice. :-)

Have you checked the video on youtube?

Thank you.

>>Yeah, i already checked that out. Good stuff...I am still fascinated, that a non corporate person can do something like this as a "home project".

Thank you. The whole thing from concept to prototype has taken 6 months plus another 2 months for all the other non technical (more boring) stuff. I am knackered!:-)

I have loads more ideas and I have already put down a few sketches for an A1200 replacement case, and before anyone asks, yes it is a wedge shaped case; the Natami case and another couple of things. We'll see if they will ever become a finished product, a lot will depend on how well the enclosure for the Minimig does.

>>It looks so incredible professional, reminds me a lot of my Nintendo Wii. Might make a good companion to it, i guess.

Love the Wii, apparently it keeps you in shape too! :-)

>>I think you should do a little bit more "advertising" for those cases, i think there are a couple of people left who don't know yet about those.

How? If you have any ideas please let me know, apart from posting here and on amigaworld.net I can't think of any other sites which would be interested in it.

Any help, suggestion please do let me know.

Thank you. :-)
