    The minimum order quantity would be 20 off but I rather think this is going to be too expensive after admin costs and shipping are added to the acquisition costs. It would have to be priced in excess of £45. Economy of scale for larger orders will not drop the price significantly as the machining is priced per hole/slot. The actual case has itself has progressive discounts with quantity but this is not going to make much difference.

    With this in mind I think it may not be financially viable to proceed with a machined case for the Pi and Pi-dac especially as there appears to be little interest.
