good casing? Tell me what you think.

:idea: I looked at polycase.com and was looking around and saw that they will make personal casing if you send them your idea for the casing, the console, battery, and screen all wired up, and they will custom make it for you, and will include mounting for the LCD, and battery, plus thay do in laid graphics and coloring, so i wont scratch, so tell me what you think of the idea of not having to make your own casing from scratch. :idea:

It might be more than you think. Probably upwards of $200. Find out and let us know.

It will certainly be expensive; labour, custom molding, etc.

Keep a check on my projects, my next one will be an N64 in my casing - then I will sell case kits for the N64...

I'm going to call in for some samples :) and get a basic rate, but there prices are really low for what their pre made cases are worth, so I think they might be aroun $50-$100, maybe a little less, so I don't think it would be to bad,
FOR BACTERIA :arrow: i was wondering if you have any SNES cases. tell me if you do.

OKW Enclosures is a good place to get cases. I've gotten over $50 in a single sample order, and I have gotten samples from them many times. You can order samples online, so you don't have to call.

I would like to preorder one Nintendo 64 portable kit please. My credit card number is 1523-7777-6295-8777. It is a Mastercard and the expiry date is 31/2/11.

I am only joking... or am I?

Boy, that sounds like one of the best ideas i lhave ever heard of, show thousands of poeple your credit card number, :? if you were smart, you would ask if he had any in stock, and then send him your Credit card number, just a bit of advise.

All MasterCard numbers start with "5". Of course he's joking.
