I'm glad there's an interest in stuff like this! DIY electronics is such a fun hobby.
I didn't expect the acrylic box to be such a hot ticket item, but we're going to talk to our vendor and see if we can't make it available as an addon for the DIY kit

AlexPkThat'd be great. I'm seriously considering buying this, but the absence of the box is a bit of a dealbreaker to me right now. Would be awesome if we could purchase two boxes. (wondering what it would do if you'd diffuse the box with sandpaper).

BrammmI had some sandpaper, and gotta say it looks pretty good.

AlexPkCrap I didn't know there wasn't a case included.
Please add an option to include the case as well. Is the case included in the pre-built version? In that case, the price of kit + case is probably roughly equal to the assembled option.

chrismetcalfHey everyone so the acrylic cube has been added in for the DIY crowd, but because of how the handling fees and everything worked out it's actually a bit more than the assembled box. However, I'm going to see if we can talk the prices down a bit to make it a little more reasonable. Thanks everyone.

AlexPkIf you talk the prices down will our orders be automatically updated? I kind of want to assemble it myself, but the cheapskate in me is unhappy at the idea of having to pay more to do that...

AlexPk @AlexPeterkin ,
It's pretty awesome of MD to hear the community out and make this happen. Thanks!
It would have been awesome-er if an e-mail had gone out letting everyone who already committed to the drop know that this is now an option. And, possibly, awesome-est if that e-mail had instructions on how to go about adding the cube to our orders (I assume a kindly worded e-mail to support@massdrop.com will get the job done).
But still, very awesome MD listened and responded.

chrismetcalfYup you'll automatically receive any price reductions we can work out. You can also change your order up until the drop ends so you can always appease the inner cheapskate at the last minute

TomaCzarWe're definitely working on an announcement feature! I agree such things would be nice. As for order changes you can go to the transactions page and contact support or change your order. Either one works :)
