Kickstarter Idea

I'm more inclined towards a TG16 clear plastic case with a bunch of neon lights and leds. Then, if the idea catches on, move on to the "other" systems.

I think you'd get more traction making custom Neptune cases or something.

That is something an injection mold could accomplish.

Grant d the PC Engine is so tiney the cost of it would be fairly reasonable.

I have worked in injection mold manufacturing.  I can say its typically not cheap.  A mold for say a TG16 shell, just the top and bottom halves would probably end up being at least $20,000 on the cheap side.

I've always wondered where the cost for that breaks down to.  Like, is the majority of it creating the 3D object, or like the operator machining to make the mold itself?  Or something completely different?
