Minimig Case

[Steril707]

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

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...!

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

Unfortunately I'm not in the market for a minimig, but hats off to TheDaddy for getting this far - hopefully you get to enjoy the fruits of your labours!

Cheers,
AndyC

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.

Thanks

I just check out infos about the Amiga community every few months, i have to admit, or i would have commented on your awesome project much sooner...

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)...

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

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. :-)

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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. :-)

I have learned about your case from this site for instance, i think it's the biggest gaming site that exists (almost always over 2000 people online there):

But how to get the word spread is a good question... hmmmm...
