FS:cases on commision!

Post by **Triton** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 7:49 pm

this has been a while in coming but as soon as i get the snes im building done i will start taking commisions on custom cases for portables! these will be on a case by case basis (no pun intended) and will be made 100% by hand to the buyers specifications. building these cases is very time consuming and involves a great deal of planing and building and work on my part so they arent going to be super cheap, base price will probably be somewhere around 25$ and go up as complexity goes up, this is a very good price for the work involved, some of my cases i have spend over 20 hours on,on my n64 case i spent close to twice that!, each case will probably take a few weeks to build becasue i have so much crap going on during the day around home and stuff. anyone interested can post in this thread or contact me on msn or aim. thanks!

no intrest in this? im starting on some new designs that are pretty slick and should be easier to build therefore taking less time but still 100% hand made (no vac forming or anything at this point, no plastic available) these aint your ordinary frankencases (unless you want that is

) im your guy wen it comes to good cases for not a lot of money!
examples!

I must say that, while I love your cases, I don't think I'll want one from you any time soon. Because, no matter how much work is put into the portable, the case is what everyone sees, and I want to be able to say "I made that".

Then again, I might be building a few portables in the future to sell to other people. When that happens, I very well may enlist your services.

thanks for your intrest! feel free to keep me in mind for your case needs lol, i have a few things up my sleeve that would let me do something like a case a week or more depending on how much free time i have and no its not vaccum forming!

I kind of need a GC case I've been making one but it won't fit the battery I want to use (because it's cheap) so uh think of ideas and so will I...

if you can give me the dimensions of all the components and stuff and a general idea of how you want it to look ill see what i can come up with

Ok I might do this but it'll depend on the cost...

ahh finaly someone will make cases

oke triton i'm very interested in a case but it has to look something like dkap and his portables??

or at least something factory looking.

how do you make the case do you use parts from other stuff or do you make it with other material

let me know cause i tries to make a case and it didn't turn out the way i wanted it to be

Well, I just recently discovered that a mini SNES I thought was long dead is in fact still working. This was for my first portable, and I was trying to do Ben's case straight from the book. Since I thought it was dead, I put that project to rest many many months ago. Looking at the case now, it's pretty sad. Care to pm me with some designs for a case for a PSOne screen and a mini SNES? I'd like to brainstorm some ideas with you.
