[quote name='controlcommerce']Wood is cheap. But if you don't have any tools, the cost of making your own box for the first time will still be well over $150. All the Screws, Pliers, Wrench, Nuts, Bolts, Washers, Corner Brace, Hand Saw, Brush, Drill Bits, Glue, Tape, Clamps, Measuring Tool, Sandpaper, Screwdrivers, Rubber Feet, Power Tools, Paint, Primer, Clear Coat, Wax and more. You need to think a head. If you can obtain all those things for under "$60 + shipping" you have to tell me.
The basic parts will cost you $100. Joystick is $25, 6 30mm buttons ($3 each) is $18, 3 24mm buttons ($2.50 each) $7.50, system PCB is $20-$25, wire is $10, soldering gun is $10.
That's $95.50 just for the basics (not including shipping). I guess you can use a shoe box and then you have a stick for under $100.[/QUOTE]
Seriously, the NAS cases are quality. They are a steal at the price they sell them.
