Pimp My Box

Looks good Mike, I really ought to have some sort of case for mine, how much did it cost overall to do this?

Well that's the big question :D

I sell a lot of the parts I needed anyway, so it cost me a lot less than it would retail, but still way too much as far as SWMBO is concerned....

The box was £15.99 from eBay,

The fuse box is circa £5 retail,

The 12v sockets are around £5 each

The main power switch is £10

The push button £2.95

The volt Meter was £4.95 (I think) off eBay

Wire approx £2 worth, terminals about £3 worth retail

I added a DIN socket and plug for the charger, that cost me approx £10 more to do and I prob wouldn't bother again since the charger is so small amd has a plug anyway.

Total cost around £70........

Wish you hadn't asked that, that's more than I thought :blush:

It does work nicely though and should see me right for a good while. :)
