I need to calculate just how much ramen I will be eating if I make this. wink

Sorry, I been kinda swamped with non-electronic related stuff lately, so I can't share my estimate, since I haven't done it yet. wink When I do give Neil his estimate I'd be happy to PM the numbers to you if you'd like, so you can get an idea of how much it costs to do his project "by the book."

Dam that looks amazing. About how much do you think getting each part would cost? I've been sorta flipping through pages but I can't quite come up with an estimate. I need to build one now! big_smile

Heh, I'm trying to do the same thing myself! Yeah, the parts list is scattered all over the place. However, these things aren't cheap, and the average build is in the $400-$500 range if you want a pretty case and 8 SIDs.

I'm talking with arfink with a view to him building one for me. If it goes ahead then hopefully I can count on you all to help, should we need parts or information.

Trash80 had my kit that he built up.. he was selling it. not sure if it sold.. you should contact him to see if he still has it.

I sold mine. It was easy to solder. I'd say finding all the parts needed is the biggest issue.
If you ever need help just send me a pm.

Well, I can't beat free labor! smile

Neil, if you want to have celsius do it then feel free, I just can't afford to do electronics work without a wage right now, being unemployed.

Fuck! Sorry dude, didn't mean to cut your lunch. sad

In all seriousness, take arfink up on his offer. The postage alone from Aus might make it less attractive than having someone local do it.

I love building kits and was looking at this as a potential next build anyway. Send me a PM if you're interested. My work is clean and I'm way OCD about details so I could almost guarantee you'd be pleased with the outcome. I wouldn't want cash, just whatever the cost is. Maybe you could sling me some of your fine wares as an exchange or something *shrug*. Let me know.

It was pretty much the first electronics project I ever did and it was a bad ass amount of fun. The build instructions for the midi box SIDS are very thorough. If you can't commission a builder, give it a whirl, you might surprise yourself. It's very very rewarding too. I'm going to builds shruthi1 and a midi box fm. Over the next few months.

And by doesn't look too bad, it looks like a fine build, though because of the unified design I would not be able to afford to build it myself. XD I have all the tools, including a programming device for the PICs.

I also have a plethora of C64 PSUs and also 2 spare SIDs to get started with. So Neil, if you are interested in getting this built by me please PM me and we can discuss details. Obviously this is a big and expensive project and you'll want to talk about things, and I understand if you want to get it done by a more experienced builder too.

EDIT: I also looked at the SmashTV kits, and they look like a very very good deal to me. The baseboard parts kit can come with a pre-programmed PIC, but that's probably not necessary. As for the control surface board, he doesn't offer a kit of that, probably because the encoders / leds / display are all essentially customizable and it would be a big mess. But he does offer the PCB. And for a PCB that complex, $20 is a steal.
