With furthur investigation, it's surprise

Investigate iC for several months, it's absolutely not simple as we can see. many things behind the little thing.. i didn't find mini-ITX board, power supply unit, video collector board, hard disk yet! Do confuse me.

THe biggest problem is I couldn't find a CNC supplier would like to cut my material less than $400. I think iC only need $150. Too expensive... hehe

Hi Tony,

I would think $400 was pretty good for machined aluminium parts. $400 won't get you much CNC work here in the UK!

Thanks, for the picture you sent me of your "iC clone". I didn;t realise you were copying it so precisely!

Matt.

Re: With furthur investigation, it's surprise

Everything is new to me. To clone iC, i choose a servo like yours (i don't know Futaba at that time :) just compare to your pics, i think i did a mistake, your servo is 40mm/37mm/20mm, but mine is 40mm/40mm/20mm.... I got my VIA-PICO motherboard today, it's 10cm/7.2cm only with VIA C7 processer. I guess I need half year to finish assemble, half year for the programming. I don't intend to offend you, I really like this design :) Anyway, just clone, based on your design.

Cheers.Tony
