Yeah, the $25 would include what I would want for building them, and logistics (others may vary).
If the cases could be had for $5, $30 plus shipping wouldn’t be too bad.

Of course there’s whatever the software author would want too, so I guess they
wouldn’t be too cheap, no.  That’s an 8MB chip though, so multiple titles if you wanted.

If someone were to write a nice menu system, with both classic and new titles on the cart,
it might be worth $50 a piece.

It really looks like all the pieces are here for some group members to pull together and
produce a nice multi-cart.  Something you see in other retro computer groups.
Just saying.  :)
