Hi,

I saw this case (originally a 5.25" external USB enclosure) on a thread a few weeks ago. The owner converted it to fit an EFIKA, but I reckon it would be great for a minimig too...



Looks so cool...

Mike.

If and when I get one/build one 2 pieces of plexiglass, 4 screws, 4 nuts and 4 stand-offs will suffice =).



This what I would do too, as it would allow it to be seen in all its mini glory!

What about a very simple case, something liek one of the early Famicom/SNES cases. The simpler to make, the less it will cost.

I was thinking up putting it inside an old 1st generation iMac. You can fetch those things for 25 euros these days, and they look way cool IMHO. You also already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse that way! And a CD-ROM drive, but that wont function (yet?).



That's not too bad for a Minimig, is it?

ewwwww!!! a mac case. thats an insult.

actually they were pretty cool looking, but constructed a bit cheaply if i remember correctly

im working on building my c64 dtv into a ps2 keyboard case, that would work for a minimig for me.
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,

Im starting to look at dead A500's. Strip the insides, remap the ports - find out if there is a way to adapt the keyboard and shazam.  :lol:

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm planning to get an A600 case and use the Keyrah with an USB->PS2 adapter.

Could be super awesome.
