thomasholzer Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) I was going to buy 6 game-boxes (as seen below) for my Lynx protos from this German company. Seeing I am in Germany it wouldn't be too difficult, so I thought. You seen those boxes with homebrew games like Alpine Games or Ponx or Sokomania, and I think they are good little boxes. Problem, the firm's smallest order is one great shipping box with 334 game boxes at Euro 0.26 each. Making a total of approx Euro 90.00 + shipping. The price doesn't bother me that much, but I do not need 300+ Lynx game boxes for my protos. So, if anyone's interested, please let me know and I purchase a box of 334 boxes and if you need one or two or more, I send them out to you at cost + shipping.

EricDeLee Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Bingo! I'd buy a few from you. I am thinking that I will hit the homebrew games hard in about 4 or 5 months. So, if that is the case, I'd need around 15-20 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I would also be interested in a small number of them (around 100 perhaps). I still have some left over components from a few previous projects and my fingers are itching to produce some new fantastic hardware for my beloved handheld. Actually I got my sample chips from Maxim early this morning. Which reminds me: does anybody have a clue of how to solder flip chips to a pcb without an owen? I was thinking about soldering paste and a teflon frying pan. It might work. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasholzer Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 and the person who send me a PM, please do so again. (deleted by accident, during the night) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Are any other colors available? I would love to have black boxes for my upcoming stuff. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Black would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn it up to the max, get some cold beer and go sit next to your PCBs and watch the paste melt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn it up to the max, get some cold beer and go sit next to your PCBs and watch the paste melt That would have worked last year, but due to the new EU regulations we have to use lead-free components and the melting point of chemical tin is now up to 231 degrees. The beer won't stay cold in these temperatures anymore. But thanks for the idea. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well, you are finnish. A sauna is basically a really big oven. Turn it up to the max, get some cold beer and go sit next to your PCBs and watch the paste melt The beer won't stay cold in these temperatures anymore. The problem is not so much the beer, but the glass bottle gets hot in the sauna. This might burn your lips. Tested that on my last trip to finnland.

Tested that on my last trip to finnland. I guess you never tried drinking beer from cans in sauna BTW you do know that you are supposed to have finished your drink by the time the glass/can gets too hot?

thomasholzer Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Found some more interested people, but no news on the order front yet. Are you in a hurry? Just catching up on boring 'normal life-have-to-be-paid' bills, but it's gotta be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
