What's the cheapest way to make a case?

Frankencase. Take the system case, screen case, and controller and mutate them together (I think Triton has the most experience with frankencasing).

Other than that... Although I guess that would be good, I was planning on selling the original case

Don't make a case, just hot glue everything together. Then you can buy a lot of sliced bread from the money you saved! Anyone with Ben's book should get my joke, I hope

Plexiglass + Sheetmetal Strip works best. Take to plexiglass sheets and seperate them with sheetmetal.

Code: Select all

Project box. Cheap, efficient, and professional. The only potential problem is it's a bit.....boxy for some people's taste

. Other than that, I'd say do a franken or case mod, if you keep the case. The styrene/bent aluminum works ok too.

I think I'll do a project box, 'specially since I'm not keeping the case

or you could get a free sample of cases from several enclosures companies, I am currently using a polycase AG series for my porta-geni (codename No. 1)

hell just coat the project in hot glue and cover it with duct tape
