Hi,
The case is in prototype stage, the prototype itself has cost me, until now, several hundreds pounds (GBP), when I receive it in the next 2 weeks, the development costs woud have surpassed £1500 easily (just for the prototype). This for a single individual/developer is a massive amount of money, remember that to design the case and finance this project I had to sell my car, pc and borrow some extra cash.
Once I have the prototype I will take photographs, maybe a video and publish it. To start with I will have a limited amount of cases available for sale so first come, first served.
As someone mentioned, the Minimg motherboard is very peculiar, it has ports on all sides so this is a custom design just for the Minimig v1.1.
Specs:
Accomodates and encloses the Minimig version 1.1, as sold by ACube/Vesalia/Amigakit, completely.
Plastic case with accessibility to:
SD-Card (bevelled slot to be confirmed)
Mouse and keyboard
Amiga joystick/mouse
VGA port
Audio connector
Serial port
DC IN (Power) port
Reset switch (through hole)
Menu switch (through hole)
Included:
Rubber feet
Ventilation slots
Holes for visual access to LEDs (power and drive)
Easy Assembly/Disassembly system
Motherboard pillars (x2)
Instructions leaflet
Colour: Gloss White (iMac/iPod like)
RoHS compliant product
Options:
RFI and EMI shielding (at extra cost)
Final price to be announced very soon, just remember that the cost of a mini-itx case (which needs to be hacked and modified to accomodate the Minimig motherboard) is easily between £50 and £100.....I'll do my best.
Thank you,
:-)
