I read that earlier too.  I like the fact that they're supplying a tested memory card and for a little more a tested PSU.

I wonder if any dealers in the US are acting as distributers for Acube otherwise I'll going to order one directly.

sheesh, how difficult is it to add a psu and a case yourself?


How much easier is it when the Minimig comes with one that you know will work, so you don't have to wander down to Radio Shack and spend half an hour explaining to some moron what you want, only to be told that it's not in stock and they'll have to order one.   ;-)

I'm a fan of "one stop shopping".

Any bog standard 5v stabilized psu will do, or must it be a mil spec one?  :lol:
Besides it's still a DIY project, as in, unfinished. So a little understanding of electronics and soldering isn't too much to ask for?


LOL.  Only my A2000 is mil spec.  :-D

Plus, you haven't seen my soldering.  ;-)

why dont you order your psu now so that you have it when your minimig arrive   ;-)


Good point.  Actually, the first thing I need to do is go through the 5 gallon plastic container I have which contains all the transformers I've collected off old telephones, laptops, etc and see if one fits the bill.  There's proably about 30 of them in it and I'm willing to bet none of them are the correct type.  :-D
