My SNESp Mk. II cost less than $85 to build. How?
-The PSOne is literally dirt cheap these days.
-I vacuum-formed the case-great looking case that's easy to make.
-I used a model 1 SNES (not the expensive model 2 mini)
-Creativity! come up with a cool design. (This part took me about a month)


I may start making vacuumed cases for people this summer- This is a BIG maybe. I have a machine I made for the making of my portable.
People could send in their clay or plaster casts and plastic sheets to me and I would form the case for a price. I'm still thinking about this though.

Both my first and second SNESp's took about a half a year each, but that was because of school though. It shouldn't take long if you have everything planned out.
If all else fails, take it apart!
