Cheaper Minimig Enclosure

As good as your cases are, they are too expensive. In my opinion I would think that if they were half the price then they would be considered value for money. But at the regular price they make a Minimig nearly £200.

Well, it's not that the Minimig board has come down in price? This is the Amiga market, hardware and gear is expensive. This is my own creation by the way, I am not a company, I am a single person. The Minimig is expensive, the case is expensive too but people like me and ACube can't just sell for a loss.

This is why I started this thread to see if people were interested in a cheaper version :-)

I am fully aware of WHY it is expensive. Doesn't make may wallet grow in size either. Supply, demand and economies of scale are at work here. Doesn't change the fact it is too expensive.

Have you got a Minimig board? Do you think that the Minimig is expensive at £130?

I don't have one. I got an A1200 with HD, CF reader and 8MB RAM expansion for £50 less than a Minimig. I know the Minimig is new and has a guarentee, more reliable etc... but the A1200 runs more games (no AGA for Minimig etc..), I have Hard Drive / IDE support (no IDE / Hard file for Minimig - yet) and I have the genuine noise of an A1200 reading disks, hard drive spinning etc...

If the Minimig with case was £70 - £80 then I would have one. Simple as that.

Agree with everything you have said. I hope costs do come down and that the savings can be passed on to the consumer.

Good luck with your future developments.
